Thanks for that interesting observation report, Ben and congratulations on your new scope. You've got two great eyepieces there too and when you can get to some darker skies, I'm sure you'll be thrilled with what you see.
On the somewhat jerky focusing you mention, can I suggest you try turning the focus knob all the way from one extreme to the other a couple of times (many, many turns!). That should ensure that the initial manufacturing grease is more evenly distributed along the internal moving parts than perhaps it is at present.
