Running out of in-focus with 12" dob

Hi all,

I recently bought a Philips SPC 900NC webcam, and had it hooked up to my 12" GSO dob last night with the adapter (bought from Peter at tan14).
I couldn't get Mars or Saturn focused however as it would run out of in-focus (if that's what it is called).

The eyepiece focuser was all the way in it could go.

Do I need a focal reducer to use the webcam? I have a 2x Barlow which I tried using too, but couldnt see any results with that either, would that be because the magnification would be too high?
