This is normal behavior for an astronomical telescope. There is no right-side-up in the sky, and turning the image around adds cost and reduces optical clarity. You can buy correct image finders and image-erecting diagonals, if you choose to do so, but in general to reduce the cost to the consumer they are manufactured without them.

Do not buy either telescope-- both are junk.

Instead buy one of these --

Hi , I have a Bushnell 570 x 60 Rotary Compact Reflector Model 78-9570 and both rack and pinion focusing knobs have broken off - the alloy(?) has broken about 1/2" from the black knob. Is it worth...

No it's not --- junk it and buy another telescope. This time avoid Bushnell- Tasco, and Edu Science scopes.

Check out the Orion web site here, for a Dobsonian reflector telescope. The most aperture for the least amount of money.

I have a swift astronomical telescope model no. 859 (no D). I need an owners manual and information on how to order parts. Mark J. Lanza

This is a 6 inch Dobsonian mounted reflector. They are VERY simple to assemble-- only two parts-- the base and the tube. The small finder scope goes on top. The eyepiece goes into the focuser. That's it.

No manuals exist for that brand but all of them assemble and are used in the same fashion. Here is a manual for an Orion brand Dobsonian just like your scope.

I recently bought this telescope from a friend. The lens is dirty and the motor has gone bad, is the telescope junk?

Yes, first--- NEVER buy a TASCO or BUSHNELL telescope. Most of them are not suitable for Astronomy.

The cost of fixing this scope will exceed its value and is not economical to do.

Instead buy a Dobsonian mounted reflector like this one.

DO NOT buy a Bushnell telescope! These are considered "toy" telescopes and are usually not suitable for Astronomy.

Instead buy a Dobsonian telescope like this one:
http://www.telescope.com/control/product/~category_id=classicdobs/~pcategory=dobsonians/~product_id=08942

You cannot buy a useable telescope for less than about $200.

Value of Bushnell Voyager 789440

DO NOT buy any Bushnell, Tasco, Edu Scientific, or Galileo telescope-- these are all toy telescopes. We call them department store telescopes.

Look at this type of telescope as your first one: and you CANNOT buy a useable telescope for less than about $200. It's on craigslist or Ebay because some parent bought it for a child who used it two times and since it was not actually easily useable gave it up.
