Your telescope and its mount will bend more than that - starting with the mirror support (newtonians)m the diagonal spider, where the dovetail is attached to the OTA (a real weak point on most scopes), the dovetail itself will twist more than that...

... even the tripod legs will flex that much in a breeze.
