Hi Jason and welcome.
I'm wondering if perhaps your finderscope and telescope aren't aligned so when you look in the finer you see one thing and then through the scope another...?
During the day (NOT POINTING ANYWHERE NEAR THE SUN) try pointing the setup at a distant object - do you have the same view in the finder as in the scope? If not, there will be some adjustment screws on the finder. Line the object up in the scope and then adjust the finder till you see the same thing through it.
Hope that's all it is - easy fixed!
cheers
