Why is everything upside down when I look through my telescope?

Is buying a telescope worth it?
Most telescopes that cost less than $150 will have low optical quality and aren’t really worth it. We suggest getting good binoculars instead. Stay away from any telescope advertised for its magnifying power. A telescope’s most important attribute is its size, meaning the diameter of its main mirror or lens.
What is better a reflector or refractor telescope?
If you are interested in astrophotography, purchasing a refractor is a better option because of it’s specialized optic design that captures deep space objects like galaxies and nebulae.
