 Everything is upside down in my telescope.
Answer If everything is upside down when you use your telescope, don’t be alarmed. Astronomical telescopes are designed to give an upside down or inverted image. This is not a problem when looking at the sky, since orientation relative to the ground does not matter for a planet, star or nebula.

To get a correct view when using the telescope for ground or terrestrial viewing, use an erect-image diagonal (available from Celestron) for your refractor or erect-image eyepiece for your reflector.
