Hi,
This is usually cause by the poor built of the mount (quite common in low cost, entry level scope) and the scope is not balance... front is heavier than the eyepiece end.

May be you can try adding some "weights" at the eyepiece end to balance the scope.... might not solve the problem, but it may helps a bit.

Have a nice day.

I just return from my test observation session, but I didn't go to the site. I setup beside the basket ball court as I need light to check my setup during my testing.

Anyway, I'll PM you my HP number later, so next time you can sms me if you going down to the observation site... I'll try to drop by if free.

Have a nice day.
