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.
What else can I help you with?
Which type of image is formed by a reflecting telescope?
A reflecting telescope forms a real image. This image is produced by the focused light from the primary mirror, which gathers and reflects light to a focal point. The image can be observed directly through an eyepiece or captured by a camera. Depending on the configuration, the image may also appear inverted.
Does a reflecting telescope produce an upright image?
The most common type of reflecting telescope produces an inverted image. However, it's possible for a reflecting telescope to produce an upright image, depending on exactly how the optics are arranged.
What is the use of Erecting lens in a terrestrial telescope?
An erecting lens is used in an astronomical telescope to right the image for terrestrial viewing. It can be placed between the objective and the ocular or be integrated in the eyepiece. Best regards Torbjoern
Why the eye interprets the image as erect when the image produced is real and inverted?
Metaphorically the eye interprets the image, but more precisely it is the brain which interprets the image, and the brain learns to do so in a functional manner. An inverted image would make it harder to understand what you are seeing, so the brain rotates it to be erect.
How and when is the image inverted?
Whenever a real image is formed by a real object,the image is always inverted. for eg when light rays from infinity falls on convex lens it forms a real and inverted image at focal plane.
Is the image produced by a radio telescope the same as the image produced by a optical telescope?
no you cant see image its appers in waves

The image on this is upside down at first?
retina
How inverted image is produced?
An inverted image is produced when light rays pass through a lens and form an image that is upside down relative to the object. This occurs because the lens refracts or bends the light rays, causing them to converge at a point and create an inverted image on the opposite side of the lens.
Does a reflecting telescope produce an upright image?
The most common type of reflecting telescope produces an inverted image. However, it's possible for a reflecting telescope to produce an upright image, depending on exactly how the optics are arranged.

Is the image inverted on a stereomicroscope?
No, the image produced by a stereomicroscope is not inverted. Stereomicroscopes use two slightly different angles to create a three-dimensional view of the specimen, but they do not invert the image.
Why do telescope images look upside down?
Telescope images appear upside down primarily due to the way light is focused through lenses or mirrors. When light rays enter the telescope, they converge to form an image, but because of the laws of optics, the image is inverted. This effect can be corrected using additional optical components, such as prisms, but many telescopes, especially simpler ones, display the inverted image as a standard feature.
Are real images inverted or erected?
Real images produced by concave mirrors are inverted, while those produced by convex mirrors are typically upright. This occurs because light rays converge to form the real image in concave mirrors, resulting in an inversion of the image.
What type of image is formed by reflecting telescope?
the images are clear and can be focused unlike a refracting telescope witch sags under its own weight causing images to be distortedAny telescope forms a real image. Otherwise, it's pretty useless as a telescope.Comments: Refracting telescopes are good these days. They should not sag. Also, Galileo's telescope formed a virtual image, and that wasn't useless.An important point about the image in a reflecting telescope is that it is inverted, as well as being a real image.
What is the nature of the image produced by a concave mirror if the object lies beyond twice of focal length?
If the object lies beyond twice the focal length of a concave mirror, a real and inverted image is produced between the focal point and the mirror's center of curvature. The image is diminished in size compared to the object.
You should get inverted image through your eye as there is a convex lenswhy it is not happening?
we do get inverted image at the ratina. But this inverted image itself is being treated as errected by our mind.
