You know what really freaks me out ?

The fact that Star maps are exactly as the stars appear in the sky. and yet through the eyepiece everything is backwards and upside down !!!

Confuses the hell out of me.

I look at the star map and then see the star or constellation in the sky, use the finderscope which is the right view to target a star, then move to the eyepiece, move my dob one way and the FOV moves the other !!! look for stars that should be bottom right and they are top left !!!!

I'm sure i'll get used to it, i gotta turn my brain inside out !!
