Star hopping with inverted or mirror images
I want to buy a telescope, which I will use for star hopping to find
DSOs. I plan to use about 60x or less to find my object then change
eyepieces or use a Barlow to see more detail.
My budget for this (including accessories such as dew shields and
tripods) is $2000.
Are there reflectors or refractors or other types of scopes that
correct the image so you can follow stars exactly as they are shown in
an atlas? Or are there atlases that show stars inverted or with a
mirror image that corresponds to what you see in the eyepiece?
Can prisms or additional lenses be placed in the light path to give a
right reading image? (If Jupiter had JUPITER written on its face, I do
not want to see RETIPUJ when looking at it!).
Also, are there websites (or books) that describe this type of thing.
If so, please list several.
Thanks
