Problem for Tasco Galaxsee 46114375 (375 x 114mm) Telescope
The image is upside down
Solution #1
posted on Mar 25, 2009
This sounds like a name for an astronomical telescope. I do not own/may have not seen one, but anyway here goes.
Terrestial images do/will appear upside down. This is normal. Just to add to the confusion some telescopes LEFT and RIGHT can be reversed.
First a few Q's & A's
===============
Can you use different eyepieces?
If 'yes' then what is the diameter* where it enters the scope drawtube/foucuser? (the most popular size is 1.25inch the other is .965inch).
You can purchase what is called an "image erecting prism". This should solve your problem. These are available as an accessory from on-line astronomical dealers. Sorry, but I do not how much you will pay.
As there are many telescope manufacturers 'out there', prices do vary. I cannot remember whether Tasco have one made under thier name. If it helps Tasco are owned by Celestron.
Good luck and clear skies.
I am concerned as to why you are using an Newtonoian Reflector for terrestial use. (Sorry for sounding insensitive).
You still should be able to use an image erecting prism with it. Double check with the seller before purchasing. Just remember the more accessories you put in the lightpath, (i.e. from the objective/mirror to your chosen eyepiece will degrade the final view of the object in question you are observing/looking at).
Image erecting prisms are normally used with "small" Refracting Telescopes (i.e. a telescope that has a lens rather the mirror).
