No there is no heat haze I remember that hazy occurence through a refractor many years ago, the 10mm Plossl supplied is pretty dismal though.
(I have asked about his on my introduction,)... but the 25mm is showing an amazing number of stars(biggest scope I have ever viewed through).

Iam an early morning worker so haven't got much energy at night to set up and drive to dark skies.
I experimented last night and poked the scope out of the boundary of the garage ...but the contrast suffered, (two streetlights) one to the left one to the right.
Iam facing due east with trees right near the horizon.
I have never seen so many stars in my life, but you walk out of the garage and I can probably see about 100 stars max.
As a beginner just thought it was interesting if the light that affects astronomical viewing is about shielding the telescope soley?...from light?
Within reason?
