Are the eyepiece sharp at the same time as the image is sharp?
Try a test target of a ruler or sm as 'll printed text which you tilt
relative to the plane of focus. It should be sharp in the center. If sharp
closer or further away you have a focusing problem. If is not sharp
anywhere you may have a lens/system problem.

Thank you,
