Blaze 1 Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 (edited) Really stuck on this one . Im a newbie first use of a Bresser Messier NT-150S/750 Hex-Focus last night. The telescope is collimated with a DSLR fitted to the telescope directly ( T2 ring onto 2 inch adapter ) it will focus in the mid point of the focus travel (brilliant no problem) . As soon as I fit the supplied eye piece that came with telescope I cant focus the focuser does have enough travel , it needs to be wound out further than it can travel . Tried using the barlow as well and that is the same also if I use the DSLR with the barlow same problem. Anything other than prime focus with a DSLR I cant get it to focus so I can do anything visual with it which is a bit disappointing as my daughter and myself were hoping to observe Jupiter last night. Any help would be greatly appreciated Edited July 11, 2020 by Blaze 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johninderby Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 There should be an extension piece for visual use.that fits onto the focuser drawtube. Unscrew the top part of the drawtube and fit the extension piece in place. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
