I have an Orion Xt10 telescope with a dobsonian mount. It also has a telrad site.
It has been next to impossible to get this telescope lined up to see anything. In the event that something is located the telescope moves. It's very unstable. It immediately starts to droop even when the mount screws are tighted as far as they can be tightened, I still have this problem. Forget changing lenses. Once an object has been located. It will knock the unit out of alignment. And breathing on it even moves its field of vies.
Can you help me figure out what I'm doing wrong?
