Hi Dan (assuming the name  )
A couple of thoughts - which eyepiece(s) are you using? Are you using the stock diagonal? The stock eyepiece was disappointing, which I've replaced with a 24mm Hyperion (plus some others). The stock diagonal gave me some trouble, too. I've since upgraded to a 2" dielectric diagonal. After all that, and waiting a _long_ time for cooldown when it's cold out, I've found that views have improved significantly. If you can stand craning your neck, you could try using it w/o a diagonal just to rule that out.
Now, I would expect there could be variation in these, so you may have just got a sub-par sample. I'm not convinced that mine is at the top of the pack of these (the image is a touch soft, I find I hunt for focus), but the views are rewarding. The Wild Duck Cluster gave me some serious wow-age a couple of nights ago.
Good luck!
Bill
