[Wookie (Ryan)]

While watching Episode 4 of The Mysterious Benedict Society on Disney Plus with the family, there was a scene where a Newtonian Reflector was used to observe a distant island.

This show is about intelligent/gifted/lateral thinking children and I thought it was ironic that the cast used the telescope the wrong way around. They would have been looking directly at the trees behind them.

See image attached.

I couldn't control my laughter.

Has anyone else seen incorrect usage of telescopes in movies/tv shows?
