Glad you are excited and getting out under the skies.
A couple of questions...
Have you checked collimation?
Do you wear your glasses to view?
Sorry for this silly question...but do you understand how to use the focuser?
How long did you let your scope cool before viewing?
Your scope not being at a stable temperature could help account for the lack of sharp views. Same for not being quite collimated or the focus needing to be adjusted a bit.
If these suggestions don't help, it may be worth checking to see if the primary clips are too tight or if the secondary mirror is pinched in it's holder. All of these are common tweaks needed on reflecting scopes.
I don't think I would go out and start buying other eyepieces or barlows until you get the sharpness of view started.
Cheers,
Please enjoy!
