Finderscope image

[Harshn]

I have just bought a 200p skywatcher classic dobsonion and while setting it up that  the finder scope (9×50) of this also shows you an upside down image. Just wanted to confirm is this normal or some aberration in my case.

Please help

And why many change it for a right angle erect image finder. ( RACI )🙂

Which then leads to a Telrad to get you in the right location to start with. Then before you know it, you are looking at counterweights to keep the scope balanced....

Thank you all for such a prompt reply!!!

Unfortunately, my telescope package does not contain tension control handle. Have notified first optics and waiting to hear from them.
