Image orientation

Hello,

I have a question re. image orientation (if that's the correct term?). I was setting up my finder scope on my new SW 8 dob in daylight the other day and noticed that the image in the primary scope was not upside down as I expected. Rather is seemed to be angled at about 150 degrees.

The image in the finder scope was rotated a perfect 180 as I expected.

The result is that whilst trying to learn to track (? - navigate) in reverse would be confusing enough, doing so on angled axis is more so I believe.

Is the angle normal? And if not what can I do to adjust?

Cheers, Iain
