Serena,

The adapter is needed so that the webcam will fit into the visual back of the
scope. The webcam has the lens removed exposing the CCD and then the adapter is
screwed in. I will try your suggestion tonight.

Thanks,

Casey

Your description suggests that the wbcam CCD is too far from the focus
plane, so your telescope hasn't enough adjustment to achieve focus at
the plane of your CCD. I am surprised. Don't know what a Mogg adapter
looks like (despite going to the web site) but I suggest removing that
and find the focus plane with a piece of paper (move it back and forth
until you get a focussed image). You can easily determine the limits
of your focussing control and make sure your CCD is placed within that
range. If you are using focal length adapter, use the same technique
with that in place. There are some other possibilities, but do those
checks first.
