Probably don't have enough rack out with your focuser (back travel) a 1.25" extension tube will fix that. It just goes into the focuser and then the eyepiece slots into that. A GSO brand (either the 35mm or 50mm) can be had for $29. Thus extension tube takes the eyepiece further away from the secondary mirror to allow you to achieve focus. Check Andrews Communications website. Sounds like this is what your problem is, unless your horribly uncollimated but I bypasssed that as your scope should have come close to collimation. Cheers
