I am still thinking about this today.
Something is fundamentally wrong.
With the 20mm extensions for the MIRROR -
the large circle caused by the star was getting smaller as
the focuser was wound in.
With it fully in it was taking up about a 1/4 of the camera chip size.
This is telling me that the mirror is too far away.
the mirror needs longer extensions.
Yet when I had 40mm extensions I still couldn't get focus.
40mm extensions bring the mirror up another 20mm which
should be exactly what I needed.
As the focuser has a 29 mm travel I should have been able to get focus.
It makes me want to put the 40mm extensions back on again.
This is a diabolical problem.
