That is puzzling. They should work of course.

Le t me try again tonight . Thanks for your guidance John. Also any suggestion om how to see the nebula colours through the DOB?  I was trying to use a nebula filter , which is hardly making any difference. ( tried on Andromeda galaxy and Orion nebula)

Finally I was able to see the celestial objects 😀 but with only 2'' adapter and 2'' eye pieces. Thank you so much folks.

But only thing  bothering me is the usability of 1.25''- all my barlow  and other eyepieces will become useless  Am i missing something?

I did extended the truss tube 👍 but I used the 2’’ adapter and was able to spot far objects. That’s a good pointer @almcl. Thank you! Will take it out tomorrow night- hope it stays true to it’s forecast. Will keep you updated folks. Thanks for all the suggestions 

Initially I used the 1.25 adapter only.

Also, try focusing on a distant object (house, chimney top, tree etc) in the distance if possible more than half a mile away and see if you can get it in focus like that. If so you should be able to get it to focus Ok depending on seeing conditions etc.

Have tried them earlier, but will give another shot today afternoon. Also I have collimated yesterday night and pray something comes up ..

Hi and welcome to the forum. 

First thought is are you using just the 1.25” adaptor on it’s own? If not then you won’t get focus.

Thanks John. 
 

am using the 1.25’’ adapter only-as I’m more comfortable with those than 2’’ ones.

Have you tried focusing on the moon? Easy to find, does it look sharp?

Adam

I haven’t tried the moon Adam. I was trying to do the distance objects like trees etc . Also tried the stars one night, but nothing came up.

Hi everyone,

 
I'm new  here. Great site!

I'm also almost new to this whole thing. I just got my new 12 inch SW dobsonian telescope (upgraded from 6'' SW DOB).  I had followed all the steps in setting up the telescope. I hope I've done nothing wrong in setting it up.

I've came into a disappointment after trying to view through 25mm because everything came out blurry! Can understand the light is there but blurry. Also did the laser collimation as well but still of no avail.

Can someone please help me out? I'm very confused and frustrated.

Much appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help!
