Telescope eyepiece extender problem?
I have a 2.4 inch diameter refractor telescope that s working just fine without the 1.5 extender. But when the extender is plugged in, the image upside-down.
FYI, I put the extender in between the tube and angled mirror at first. Then though I might have it setup wrong. So I put then put the extender in between the mirror and eyepiece. Same thing, the image is upside-down.
Without the extender, the image is right-side up. So my guess is the extender if faulty. Am I correct on this?
Second question. Where should the extender, a working on that is, actually go? Does it go before the mirror or in between the mirror and eyepiece?
Thanks everyone for your help!
Tested scope by looking at TV set. Without extender, people are standing up. But with the extender, they're flopped as if they're doing handstands. Maybe the extender is only used for outer space objects not Earthbound and is working properly. But my first guess is the extender should work for both Earth and outer space objects, like viewing nature. So if I use extender and look at birds in treetops, the ground is on top and the birds on on the bottom. Without extender, all is good!

You are more likely to get an answer if you correctly post it in the Science and Mathematics section where people may be familiar with the use of telescopes..
