[Juno]

I tried out my new scope a few nights ago (10 inch Dobsonian telescope)
and I found that the moon looked quite nice (and bright) and crisp through the scope, however, when I sighted Jupiter, the planet did not look really crisp enough, same with the moons, I moved the scope around Jupiter a bit and noticed the light was like bouncing off of sorts.

Could this be perhaps that the mirrors are slightly off their alignment?

I noticed that stars weren't 100% clear either.


The first night I took the scope out and immediately started observing, the stars and Jupiter's moons weren't clear, as if they where out of focus.

I was trying to focus them but was could not get crisp images.

I could barely see Jupiter's bands at 200x. ( It was quite bright though understandably due to aperture.)

I left the scope out for about an hour, went back and the moons and stars looked better, though, I feel that still im not getting the clarity and crispiness that I should.
