    The dust is close to the camera sensor. It would not be in focus at all if it was on the primary mirror or meniscus lens of the scope. There is a diagonal mirror within the rear end of the scope - thats what I would be checking for dust. There may also be a glass disk across the bottom of the eyepiece tube of the scope to keep dust out - dust on that could also be responsible.

    If that photo was taken by holding a phone to the eyepiece, you need to clean the eyepiece, or as @John says, the diagonal mirror. 

    photo was made with hardware to put a Canon body to the scopen and a canon body.

    1&2 body only 3&4 with occulair 5 the setup used by 3&4

    The dust visible in the photos looks like it is on the front of the corrector plate and the inside looks clean so there is no reason to open it up as far as I can see. Even if the dust shown is on the inside there isn't enough of it to make a difference when you are looking through the scope. 

    thats correct, I did not clean the outside, ok I had too, I will show you a foto made with this scope.
