With the mirror lock it does yes. I got the scope collimated then pushed one of the mirror lock bolt to tilt the mirror and looked at the deviation. If you push hard you'll tilt the mirror on track but it comes back into position. If you just lock it, it doesn't move. The mirror lock is very effective. I don't even have to re-focus the C11 now even with a 180 degrees slew in another part of the sky. Not that I don't check but it's holding fine.
