help stting webcam for astrophotography

Hi there everyone.

A little while ago i tried to setup a webcam to my astromaster 130eq. I followed some of the turorials out there and dismantled the webcam attatched it to the doorstop as shown and popped it in the focuser.
No matter what i did though, i could not get it in focus. The only thing i could do was put an ep in first, then re attatch the camera (using lacka bands lol) to get any sort of clear picture. Anyway, im thinking of trying again, but im wondering if any of you could shed some light on this so i know what im doing next time.
I have a barlow lense now, so would that help?

Cheers
