What is the recommended image erector eyepiece for this Bushnell telescope. We use it to look at seals on the ocean rocks. Prefer to see them right side up.
Most small 'consumer grade' or 'department store' telescopes use 0.9 inch diameter eyepieces. Better quality ones use 1.25 or 2.0 inch. Any image erector which will fit in the appropriate size focuser will probably be fine. Just select the image erector based on the eyepiece barrel diameter (0.9", 1.25" or 2.0").
SOURCE: focus with erector eyepiece on
Some eyepieces cannot come to focus in certain telescopes-- try a different eyepiece.

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.

if it's a reflector telescope (a mirror on one end of the tube and an open end on the other), you point the open end of the tube at your target.
or you might need to collimate your telescope. sky and telescope's websit shows you how to do it. it's under the 'Do-It-Yourself' section (left side of page).
hope this helps :D

Why would you do that? Never disassemble an eyepiece the interior surfaces do not get dirty if you are reasonably careful. Handling the glass will make it worse.
There are so many variations in eyepiece design it will be very hard for someone to give you exact instructions. Probably best to just buy another eyepiece.

Did you remove the lens cap.
This is a simple refractor telescope. Put the eyepiece with the largest number written on it into the telescope. DO NOT use the 2x barlow if you have one.
Practice focusing on a distant object during the day time. Read my TIPS on my profile page.
