Almost every last one is like that unless you buy a mirror or prism eyepiece.

are you serious? why a telescope manufacture like that? must get additional piece to make it right? is that some kind of company scheme to make extra money?

and once again are you serious?


and what you mean every last one? you mean older telescope is supose to be upside down?

If you look through it every waking moment for 3 days, it will flip and it will be the right way up. Everyone knows this. Maybe you didn't realise, but this is something that people have to do when they get a new telescope. That's why scientists use computers nowadays.

I thought a telescope was to be used for looking at stars, planets, the moon, etc., in which case an upside-down image is not really a big deal. On the other hand, if you're trying to spy on your neighbor in the shower, I guess I could see how it could be a deal-breaker...

WTF nobody quoted the OP? You fuckin' noobs! :mad:

Nay.... in fact you are the noob, young one. You have yet to learn the ways of Google Caching

back in the days around 2003. we went to a kmart or wal mart or whatever. the store was shutting down so everything was like half price off or even 80 percent off.

we got a telescope for about 100 dollar and the regular price was 200.

come home. check it out. it dont work right! the scope inside is upside down! we see upside down when look at the scope. we dont know how to fix it.

one day i was addicted to casino. sold my friend the telescope for 20 dollar! 20 fffking dollar! and go casino. and the telescope was not mine! i did not pay for it! it was my sibling that bought it. told my sibling about it. we just face palm and i was even more face palm.... realize my own stupidity.

so my friend bought it. he cant fix the upside down thing as well. now modern days aka recently. chill with few beers. talk about past. i ask him you still got the telescope? he says he donate it cause he gave up trying to fix it. i face palm again.


i kno this been a very long time but does anybody know whats the deal with the upside down scope you see? any hardcore telescoper here that knows whats up? maybe it just a minor issue that can be fix easily..... i know i no longer have it but just want to know the resolve.
