Default possible bad thermostat? *pic*

I just got my '95 GSR, so i'm not really sure about the temp. needle (my civic went exactly halfway between cold and hot), but does it look like my thermostat may be stuck slightly open? I would think it should be up a little higher. This is after about 20 minutes of driving around...

sorry for the dark pic....

Mines always looks like that, always thought it should be 1/4 of the way though.

Same spot for me.. depends on the weather.. on a colder morning obviously it takes a lil longer to get up there.. but doesn't always go quite as far.

Yah, it looks pretty normal.
but if it takes a while to get to that point along with ur heater to get warm, then it is possible.
