6" f/8 refractor

Hello everyone,
I have a new-to-me 6" f/8 Skywatcher refractor that yields excellent images with very little color. My problem is I can not get my 13mm nag, 9mm nag, 7mm ortho, or 4mm radians to in-focus enough. I even tried taking out my diagonal and only using the 1.25" adapter. I got this scope for planetary use primarily, but if I can not bring any high power EP's into focus what is the point. Am I missing something? I am new to refractors and I have only owned DOBs in the past. If not is there anything I can do to correct this problem? :S Need a little help.
Thanks,
Todd
