Columbus If you want to see things the right way up just ask for a correct image diagonal as far as loosing quality....well as long as you don't push magnification to far you'll do all right . Dew shield and a due zapper will be needed and just to confirm,(the scope you are buying is a SCT isn't It ?) now the dew shield will hold off dew on mild nights and will also help keep out stray light from neighbours and even a bright night . A dew zapper will still be needed on colder nights that's for sure !
The diagonal ,yes you put the EP then view and even a barlow can be placed in before
the EP although a barlow is the last thing you should be thinking of right now .
Columbus don't be sorry for asking questions mate thats how we all learn things ,and then we can start feeling comfortable with a new equipment and our new interests .
You know It would be really good If you could get down to a local Astro Club so you could get some hands on instructions , aint nothing better than that mate .
