Not nearly as much, but the carbon fibre tube is the cause of the problem. I noticed there was increasingly more movement between the focuser and the tube, and it is due to Orion's poor design of the carbon fibre tube.
Apart from chucking the telescope to the bin and keeping the focuser, I have two options:
1. Secure the tube and focuser firmly to a doveplate and align the tube with the focuser.
2. Take the lens out, chuck the carbon fibre tube and make my own tube, and put it all together.
At this moment the scope is fine for visual, but not good for the astrophotography.
