Are all telescope images inverted ? Is there a way to change that like put
on a eyepeice that corrects the image ?
Inversion is an intergrate design due the optical charateristics. This
applies only to reflective telescopes. Since reflector are used primarily
for so-called deep space astronomy, this is not really a problem. On the
other hand. a refractor which is normally used for terrestrial viewing gives
an upright image.
Minor correction, but an "astronomical" refractor will give an inverted
image with a normal eyepiece. You can buy a "terrestrial" eyepiece which
gives a right-way-up image, and a spotting-scope which is bought for
terrestrial use - bird-watching or whatever - will have one already
fitted.
