If there is an astronomy club near you maybe you could join so you can have a look with somebody else? The SW is easy to carry, so you could go to a meeting with your scope.
I don't know, I am not happy with the 10mm eyepiece, as I said before, but I can still focus, so I am not sure why you can't. It is also possible that even if you didn't notice any turbulences with the 25mm eyepiece you noticed them with the 10mm eyepiece, so the lack of focus were the turbulences. Turbulences are also present when the sky is clear. Sometimes I look at the moon in the afternoon (no clouds) and the moon literally floats in front of my eyes!
