oh, sooo angry! grrrrrrr!

What am I missing???

in order to find a focal point for the lens-less camera in the telescope I would have to be able to find any focal point anywhere, right?

So I take the lens off, outside (where it's not raining atm ) I aim at my finger at 10cm distance (or closer or further) from the chip:
all I see in the life view is whitish light with maybe a shadow of darker white caused by the finger.
I shoot the pic: same.

There is no option to focus without lens.
There is no option to set AF to "infinity" - a term I have read often, used by people with Point-And-Shoot, I think. While mine is no point-and-shoot - lenses are interchangable but it doesn't have mirrors.

What are the camera settings I need to use without the lens to get focus?
Without that, I can not measure the focal point distance from the secondary - hence can not decide for a focuser.
Can't decide for a possible primary mirror move, either.

Grrrrr!

(I don't have any t-mount acessories, yet, figuring they will be determined by the focuser I might eventually buy.)
