I've fixed the issue! As many commenters suggested it was a focusing issue. I now have the telescope focused on a distant object and aligned with the finderscope. It's all setup by a window to see some stars if they come out tonight and will take it out on the next clear night.

Your assumptions are right, Alex. I haven't looked through a telescope properly before (only ever mine, with the closest to a 'proper' view being terrestrial views an hour ago). I've done a good amount of research into the scope and how to use it and it all seems quite straight forward until I run into a problem that I can't Google my way through. Thanks for the help!
