Have you checked it's all working ok during the day through the scope ?
Webcam default settings are daylight so low gain and hi frame rate whereas night and dim objects will require a bit more gain.
As Raymo says, use an EP to find and centre a bright star then start winding the focus back. You may need an extender to find the focal point or if it's a refractor start with trying the webcam in the diagonal so it's close to the ep focal plane.
