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.

Projector screen upside down

Check the settings for image alignment. You may have to look for the vertical and horizontal image settings.
This could be because the default is table mount and you may have mounted on ceiling.

Why are my images upside down, how do i fix it? was working fine earilier

All astronomical telescopes show upside down images, you must add extra glass to erect the image which will dim the images of deep sky objects in the eyepiece.

You can buy an "erecting" prism for terrestrial viewing.

Finderscope image upside down & not focused if viewing past 100 yards

The upside down image is normal for astronomical telescopes. The finder usually is a fixed focus, but it can be altered for various eye types, by rotating the objective lens for focus - the cell should move in or out on fine threads.
