Also forgot to add, I put my Orion laser into the newt and noticed it’s off centre.. would this also cause issues?
Make sure your newtonian is collimated correctly
Use a Cheshire to align the secondary first then the primary second and a laser for final check of Collimation
Refer to Astrobaby.com for Collimation procedures
