Sky Watcher 10" help needed

Hi Everyone,

Hope you all had a Merry Christmas.

My family bought my father an telescope for Christmas, as he has been fascinated about astronomy for a while.

We bought him a Sky Watcher 10 dobsonian, after some recomendation s towards the telescope.

We were able to help him to put it all together but we are struggling to focus on any stars/moon. We were able to align the finderscope, but when we point towards an object the focus is completely out even when we adjust the focusing knobs. I would assume that there wouldnt be any colimation to a brand telescope?

I have tried using a 10mm, 25mm and 32mm eye pieces all have the same problem.

Any help would be much appreciated, to explain this bluring and poor detail.

Thanks
