Have to agree with Mark's last post on the subject. I too thought that someone purchasing a 300mm telescope would have had quite a bit of experience with smaller telescopes and general observing of the night sky.
From your later posts, in my humble opinion, you lack the experience and your expectations are to great. Sorry about being outspoken.
YES, you may have a Lemon, but unless you have the experience to know what to look for and to test the optical mirror itself or have it tested by a experienced person you want know.
Why don't you contact someone in the science department in your local highschool? Usual there are always some students interested in astronomy and they might be only to willing to have a look at your telescope and give you some help or advice.
