I dont know anything about how the camera attached set up is supposed to work, I tried with the eyepiece inside the tpiece and with just the camera attached but couldnt focus any of the set ups. What am I missing any help greatly appreciated.

I used to have the same camera as you. As mentioned, you need to work out a solution that involves reducing the distance from the camera to the primary mirror. My skywatcher dob has sliding truss tubes so I can lock the tubes just before they lock out. This gives me the same effect as moving the mirror up the tube. I'm not sure what scope you have so you'll need to find a solution that works for you. I'm all very new to this but I'm sure someone has already solved it for your type of scope, you just need to find the info

Thanks mate - beginners luck more than anything I think. Now if only my girlfriend would let me outside at night more instead of being her preferred heat source I might get another chance to take some more
