Why is my Celestron telescope upside down?

Celestron FirstScope 76: First light and functionality With the eyepieces supplied by Celestron, you won’t get hugely close-up views of the surface of the moon, but you’ll be able to see craters and get a feel for the rugged terrain along the terminator (the point where night meets day).
When I look through my telescope Everything is upside down?
If your viewing target is upside down when you use your telescope, don’t be alarmed! Astronomical telescopes are designed to produce an upside-down or inverted image. This is not a problem when looking at the sky since orientation relative to the ground does not matter for a planet, star, or nebula.

How do I focus my Celestron telescope?
Focus your telescope. Once you have your telescope pointed at the desired object to view, look through the eyepiece and turn the knob located just below the eyepiece. Turning clockwise focuses farther than the current focal level, while counterclockwise focuses closer.
Why is my telescope blurry?
Too high a magnification is the leading cause of most telescope images being too blurry to be classified accurately. Any magnification above 200X may make images unclear in certain atmospheric conditions. The magnification on a humid summer night will not be the same as during a winter night.
