Hi Lawsta, and welcome!!!

I bought the same scope (6" GSO from Andrews) and have been
extremely happy with it.
That said, if yours is *exactly* the same as mine (which it certainly sounds like), then the primary mirror will not be "center spotted", nor will you have a collimating tool.

That is one thing which I would highly recommend getting/doing (a collimating tool). You'll probably also want to get your primary mirror center spotted - that makes collumating much easier. It feels like a very scary thing to do when you're new (I ended up getting help), but there is plenty of help in this place for such things.
