CaptainHastings Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 My parents just bought me a new telescope, "Sky-Watcher, Reflecting Telescope, SK 1309EQ2". After we put it together, the image was upside down. I think we assembled it correctly as we followed the instruction booklet. Any solutions?

brantuk Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 That's what reflectors do - you'll find the image is the wrong way round too - you can get diagonals with an "amici" prism which turns the image the right way - but it's not really necessary when looking at the sky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demonperformer Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 These telescopes do invert the image. Not a big problem for astro. If you need to un-invert the image, you can get a diagonal that will do it.HTHEDIT: need to type faster ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
