What would you expect to see by looking at a telescope?

If you are asking: What do things look like in a telescope, then the answer is: upside down and reversed left to right. The two main kinds of telescopes are reflectors and refractors. And, unless there is an erecting prism in them, everything looks upside down. Binoculars are a pair of refracting telescopes mounted so you can see through both of them at the same time. The image you see is right side up because they have erecting prisms inside them that flip the images so they look like what you see normally.

Why does it not matter that the image produced by a telescope inverted?

One of the most surprising discoveries first-time telescope owners will find is that images may appear upside-down or backwards depending on the type of telescope. The first thought is the telescope is broken - when in fact it is working perfectly normal. Depending on the type of telescope images may appear correct, upside-down, rotated, or inverted from left to right. Why is this? Why would I want to see everything incorrectly? For astronomical viewing, it is not important whether an object is shown correctly. In space there is no up or down. Besides, Saturn is not something you see everyday and you would not know if it was upside-down or not. A Tree, Building, Person or an Automobile for example would be important to see correctly. When you view an automobile upside-down, you recognize that this is not correct. Lets talk about the different types of telescopes and how the orientation of the image is observed through them and what you can do to correct it for land use. Refractor and Cassegrain telescopes will produce an image that is upside down when used without a diagonal. When a diagonal is used the image will be corrected right side up, but backwards from left to right. It will look like trying to read a sign in a mirror. There are special diagonals called Erect Image Prism diagonals that can correct the backwards image for land use. Newtonian Reflectors will produce an image that is upside down and are not recommended for land use. There are no ways to correct this with a Newtonian Reflector.
