Hi

You might need a barlow to get focus.

Why not pop over one Saturday night with it and see us at the Astronomy Centre?

If you got it in focus during the daytime through the scope then it should focus at night.

You need to make sure you switch off all the Auto settings and then manually tweak the settings.
