I'll try that, thanks for the advice!

Hi Everyone, Be aware, newbie here. So a few weeks ago I've decided to buy a Skywatcher Explorer 130M. This might not have been the best decision of my life, but I wasn't sure how far I want/can go with this hobby, considering the light pollution at my place, the time it needs, etc... So this seemed like a good option, when I can try both visual observation and maybe some photography. So issues are: 1) Is it normal that the EQ2 mount is so wobbly? I mean everything is tightened, still it's starts a big dance just because of a light touch. This makes focusing even during visual observation very difficult (See example video here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1mtQZc7-cEty8da8ETHcedCI5oh8y9t4B/view?usp=sharing) 2) Focusing with a DSLR is not possible, only with a 2x barlow lens/T adapter. I guess I have to live with this, but then why is there a T ring on the tube? 3) My DSLR is an old one, and it only has 0.4s mirror delay feature, which is combined with issue 1) means that it's impossible to take long exposure photos... Did anyone managed to solve this? 4) Then the bundled motor's gear are usually "jumping" on the mounts gear, and takes multiple seconds to align them and then tighten, and by that time targets are usually way off... Is there a solution for this? Thanks, Gabor
