This may be the reason the scope was being sold. I am speaking out of my other end now, but could optical coatings create different conditions during day and night time viewing? Perhaps the coatings are bad?

What do you mean by "optical coatings"? Is there any way I can fix this?

Are you serious? I thought Bushnell were pretty good. Does anyone else agree that Bushnell's suck? It says in the manual that I should be able to see the Moon (obviously), Jupiter, Saturn, Venus, Mars, Nebulaes, star clusters, and even the Andromeda galaxy. Is this all true?
It seems like a focusing problem to me too, orangeSCT. But focusing doesn't seem to do anything. I'll try to be more diligent with the focus tonight.
Why isn't Venus a good spot to start off with? I thought it would be the next best thing to the Moon (and there is no Moon right now). What do you guys recommend I try to focus on? Mars?
