You scope might or might not have a problem. We should check
at the next starparty.
But comparing to pictures will be confusing. What one sees in any
scope almost *never* looks like a any picture. Most people say
the picture looks far far better.
(I still perfer to look at a fuzzy dim visual view than dramatic
photograph.)
The difference between visual views and photographs has more to
do with the difference between human vision and film rather than
between telescopes.
It's quite possible that there is nothing wrong with your scope and
you might still not be impressed with the views.
In that case, there are only two cures: astrophotography or a bigger
scope. :)
I'd be happy to look though your scope at the next oportunity.
Clear skies.
