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. So if you are going to look for nebulae and distant
galaxies the reflector is the way to go. The refractor is the telescope for
terrestrial and local solar system objects. To answer your question, yes it
is possible to purchase an "upright" lens for a reflector, but if you can
find one of high quality it can prove to be prohibitively expensive. For
really expert advice you might try www.telescope.com this is Orion
