Just for the record it turned out to simply be a balancing issue. Nothing to dramatic. The screws tighten fairly well, though they could be improved a bit. If nothing else this little scope has got me thinking and learning about telescopes in general. I really wish I could get a bigger one though. But unfortunately I live in a unit and I need to cart it in and outside each time I use it. This scope is about as far as I could carry on my own and I don't have any friends to help me 99% of my observing time.
Anyway thanks for your help folks.
