Image Rotation

[TinaP]

Hi everybody, this might sound a really silly question, but could anybody please tell me if the image I see through my Meade Etx105, Maksutov Cassegrain, is flipped horizontally or vertically or both. I cannot get my head round that one.

Thanks for the help.

If you are using a normal star diagonal, the image will be the right way up but reversed left to right

I surpose you could liken looking through a scope to driving a car backwards, it all crystal clear, but in reverse..

I tend to think of it as more like doing an inverted Immelmann with one eye closed - but that's just me and my strange background ....
