Help with telescope

[Dunnbeard]

Hi I've recently bought a second hand skywatcher telescope but when I look through it the image is upside down.i am new to this hobby so was wondering if anyone knew what I was doing wrong

Nothing. Depending on what kind of scope you have the image can be upside down, reversed left to right, or both. You just have to get used to the view, but you can get erecting eyepieces, but in general the quality of them is not great.

Absolutely nothing wrong.  I like to think of it this way........  

In space, there is no upside down or right way up 

Correcting prisms, eyepieces, etc. will reduce some of the light passing through them so in my opinion are not worth using unless viewing terrestrial objects.

Don't worry you will soon get used to this.
