Default Quick beginners question

I have an adaptor for my Tasco reflector which is supposed to show the image
the right way up. When I use it, all I see is the reflection of my eye in
the secondary mirror.
Any ideas?

Are you sure it's your own eye?

(Sorry - post LOR trauma)

Have you put an eyepiece in it?

If so, you will need to refocus.


Best,
