20 Most Recent Fieldvision 114mm Reflector (114 x 114mm) Telescope Questions & Answers

As we all learned in grade school, telescopes produce an upside down image - it's okay for astronomical use since upside down doesn't matter. If you want an image like you'd see in a pair of binoculars, get an image erector from a telescope accessory store to add to your eyepiece.

Probably NOT actually pointed directly at the moon-- you should have moved it around a little -- the moon was probably just outside the field of view through the eyepiece. ........................ telescope must be pointed DIRECTLY at the sky object-- also use the eyepiece with the largest number written on it=== this gives the LOWEST magnification..... and a slightly wider field of view.

Sorry there are no specific manuals for this small imported relector style telescope. Use one of the Bushnell manuals for reflectors on this page-- they all work the same way.

Astronomical telescopes usually show an upside down image. There is a good reason for this- erecting the image needs more bits of glass in the light path, which reduces the amount of light and increases aberrations. Even if this is only slight, astronomers prefer to avoid it, and they don't really care which way up the Moon or Jupiter appear.

It is possible to fit an erecting prism or eyepiece to most astronomical telescopes, and some of them come with one, but if you want a telescope primarily for terrestrial use, you are much better off buying what is called a "spotting scope".

If the telescope has a standard 1.25 inch diameter eyepiece, then an erecting eyepiece may be found on Amazon or eBay. An erecting prism or diagonal of the type that bends the light through 90 degrees is not right for a reflecting scope. These are used on refractors.

Sorry ut you will not find a manual for that small telescope. It's a reflector style telescope probably on an equatorial mount which must be polar aligned in order to be used.

Here is a Meade brand manual that is similar to your scope:

You are doing nothing wrong. Astronomical telescopes usually show an upside down image.

This is an eyepiece attachment that goes in between eyepiece and telescope. I found only two items on ebay.com (different size/fit), searching on "eyepiece erector".

Many on line sites sell these: here is one:

This is an imported telescope probably from China. You will not be able to contact a manufacturer. Never buy a telescope off of Ebay, at a garage sale, from Wal Mart, or craigslist, unless you know exactly what you are buying.

Buy from either a local telescope shop or online from reputable retailers like these:

Your scope appears to be on an equatorial mount which must be polar aligned in order to be used. Google "polar alignment" and learn how this is done or read my TIPS on my profile page.

Eyepieces come in 3 sizes .975, 1.25, and 2 inch. Measure the hole in the focuser. Any of the retailers listed above can sell you an eyepiece.

As you can see from the ONE review here:

A manual does not exist for this imported telescope. This is just one of DOZENS of brands imported from China.

ALL astronomical telescopes show upside down images, it's normal. Nothing is wrong with your telescope.

For terrestrial viewing you can buy an "erecting prism" which will turn the image right side up.

In a refractor images are upside down as with most telescopes. You need an image erector to create a normal correct R and L and Up and Down image. It is a lens which goes in front of the eyepiece to give a correct image.

you have to make sure your primary mirrow is level, there are a set of screws that will help you do it, then the secondary mirrow at 45 degree, start in a daylight to align the telescope. good luck

All astronomical telescopes show the view upside down. it is the properties of the mirrors/lenses. Ther is no up and down in space. You will get used to it.
For terrestrial viewing, you can buy a erect image diagonal (for refractors and SCTs) or a erect image eyepiece for refractors. This is not recommended for astronomy since it reduces contrast.

Visit your local gun shop and have them order them.
