Scanning/Flipping & Mirror images to create Star Maps that Match the EP

Can anyone explain the procedure to get images, either scanned from Books or captured from Software; the right way up to match the image in the Eye Piece of a Refractor & then a Newtonian.

IS IT…a simple case of mirroring the image if only using a Refractor?

Any help would be appreciated…using the binos with star maps is easy, but even after making maps to take with me by either means of printed or digitized I still get very confused when I go deep into the star patterns. I am very confused on which way is up & down, and unsure of what settings to use when copying maps to take.

Thanks again
