Telescope saga

Hi can someone please tell me why the view in the eyepiece is at an angle.When I look at a distant pole to focus the scope, the pole is at an angle of 60deg's to the left.
Thanks.

Are you using a 90 degree prism before the eyepiece? They rotate the image as you swivel them around. (Before locking them down of course!)

Thanks for your reply. I am only using the eyepiece nothing else, this has only occurred this this week. Before this everything was normal.

Try rotate the eyepiece. If the image moves around, your eyepiece may be damaged. If they are dropped the little lenses inside either break or come loose.
If its not that then i am stumped!

But thanks very much for your assistance.
