    I thought that looking through a telescope you'll get a image upside-down...or it depends on size and type of the telescope...

    • @LearnToStargaze
      @LearnToStargaze  ปีที่แล้ว +4

      That’s just newtonians telescopes. Refractors show a mirror image, unless they have an erecting diagonal, which makes objects appear in the correct orientation.

      If it’s new there might be a little piece of plastic in the battery compartment. Otherwise you might need a new 2032 battery.

    Got my first scope today. It’s red dot finder is located below the scope, if the scope is connected to its motorized mount. Now I’m trying to figure out, how to mount the scope facing the other way to get the finderscope in upper position. And the finder app to understand that the scopes rear isn’t the front.
