The focal point does not extend far enough outside the focuser to reach focus with a DSLR.

Youll need to either push the focal point outwards by moving the primary mirror up the tube, use a camera with a shallower flange distance like a mirrorless camera or a planetary camera, or use a barlow lens to push the focal point far enough.

With the barlow you will have some other issues but thats probably the easiest method.
