going crazy? can't get focus
I have a C9.25 that I don't use very often, and if I do it's been for visual. When I do that, I use a diagonal with the eyepieces, but I can achieve focus no worries.
But plug in my DBK21 into the back, and I can't for the life of me get it focused. This is with or without 2.5x powermate. I pointed it near the Moon tonight, figuring it's pretty bright and a good starting point to focus on. I can't even see a change in brightness and I slew past it and full in or full out focus.
Thought it could be the camera is the problem, but shine a torch in the scope and it does flare up and show up on the video. So the camera is working.
Thing that's driving me nuts is that I'm sure when I first got it I did do some playing around with the same camera and powermate, and did get focus and results.
Please give me some tips/tricks to get this thing in focus before I toss the thing off the balcony or have myself committed to an asylum. I must be missing something stupid.
