A noobish question about off-axis guiding

[Superdavo]

Hello everyone!

Just now, I have attempted to use my off axis guider for the first time, with my Canon 1100D, and have run into a simple problem - I can focus the camera, but my crosshair reticle eyepiece is out of focus. I'm sure this question is highly noobish, but what should I do?

Oh, and I've tried to move the eyepiece further out - and it didn't help. If anything, it would need moving in.

You need to adjust the spacing to make them par focal.

Get focus on the camera on a distant object then adjust the focus to bring the EP into focus. If you had to rack out then you need that amount of space on the EP side. If you had to rack in the spacer needs to go on the camera side.

How would I adjust the spacing of the camera though?

T2 extension rings, you just need to work out what length you need.
