Having difficulty when I attach my canon 1300D to my maksutov 180/2700 telescope, focusing it is a major pain. Keep getting little donuts instead of crisp clear photos. What am I doing wrong suggestions

I suspect you need to fit a spacer between the camera and the scope to obtain focus?

Like Ron said, you aren't achieving focus hence the donuts.

You need a spacer.

Try the camera in the diagonal and it should reach focus.
