My own arrived mis-collimated.

If it is mis-collimated, you can try the no-tools method... https://garyseronik.com/no-tools-telescope-collimation/

After having read that, if you'd rather use a Cheshire and a collimation-cap instead, indoors as I do, then the primary-mirror will need a center-spot... https://garyseronik.com/centre-dotting-your-scopes-primary-mirror/

The primary-mirror is easily removed.  Take your time and be careful...

I managed to use it during the day and it focused perfectly. However, again at night at the moon it’s just a bright white light nothing else. It’s so frustrating

Yes, a Bird-Jones design. That uses a corrector lens. If you remove the eyepiece, can you see a lens at the bottom of the focus tube?

We've had a member with a missing corrector lens which made focusing impossible.

Welcome, I hope we can solve your problem.

 

Ive just had a look and there is a lens. I didn't try it during the day so I will give it a go in the morning and see what happens 

Hey guys and girls, I love space and photography separately and decided to combine the both. 

Ive recently set up my new celestron ps1000 as instructed. I took it outside to view the moon, which I had centred in the finderscope. However, through the eyepiece it was just a blurry bright light 

Any advice would be a massive help?
