That is normal. Finder scopes are only used to make objects easy to locate. The image orientation does not matter for observation.

  • Alt-azimuth: easy to use, moves horizontally and vertically
  • Equatorial: enables precise tracking of objects with only one axis – ideal for high magnifications and astrophotography

  • Moon: from 30 mm
  • Planets: from 100 mm

Warning notes
  • BATTERY WARNING AND SAFETY Safe handling and use of batteries and accumulators Read and follow these instructions before using the battery or accumulator. To the extent permitted by law, failure to comply with these warnings and instructions may result in any damage caused to your product not being covered by the warranty. In this document, the term "batteries" also includes accumulators. Follow these instructions to ensure optimal safety and performance: DO NOT use counterfeit batteries in products. Only use supplied batteries. Use the battery SOLELY for its intended purpose. Keep batteries out of the reach of children and pets. DO NOT use batteries that appear to be damaged, swollen, or modified. Do not use batteries that are leaking, emitting a smell, swollen, melted, or showing dents, rust, cracks, or scratches. The battery should NOT be disassembled, crushed, punctured, shredded, or otherwise tampered with. The battery should NOT be exposed to liquids. Liquid may penetrate the battery's circuits, causing corrosion and compromising its safety. A wet or damp battery should NOT be dried with a device or heat source (e.g., hairdryer or microwave). The device or battery should NOT be placed near a heat source or direct sunlight. High temperatures can cause the battery to swell, leak, or malfunction. Examples include placing the device near a radiator, stove, kitchen appliance, iron, fireplace, or inside a vehicle or next to a window in direct sunlight. The battery should NOT come into contact with metal objects. If metal objects such as jewelry come into prolonged contact with the battery terminals, the battery may become very hot or catch fire. The battery should NOT be stored together with hazardous or flammable materials. Store the battery in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. The battery should NOT be inserted incorrectly when charging. MAKE SURE the battery compartment is empty, dry, and free of dirt before inserting the battery. The battery should NOT be charged in direct sunlight or at extreme temperatures. The battery must be charged at room temperature, typically between 20 °C and 26 °C (68 °F–79 °F). Charging may be temporarily suspended if the battery temperature exceeds 60 °C (140 °F). If the battery is hot but the temperature is under 60 °C (140 °F), the battery will still charge, but more slowly than usual. Avoid dropping the battery or the product with the battery inside. If dropped onto a hard surface, the battery or product may be damaged. If you suspect the battery might be damaged, replace it. Never leave your mobile hotspot plugged into the power supply for more than 24 hours to charge. Let the battery drain and then recharge it. Keeping your mobile hotspot plugged into a charger without draining the battery can damage the battery/device or affect performance. If a battery shows a significantly shorter runtime than when purchased, it has reached the end of its reasonable lifespan. We recommend replacing it. For optimal results and performance, batteries should be replaced after 12 months or earlier depending on usage. Follow local regulations for the disposal of used batteries. Do not throw the battery into fire or water.

BRESSER Profi-WSC Wi-Fi Weather Station with 7-in-1 Sensor
Featuring a discreet and elegant design and a large 14.5 cm (5.7-inch) colour display, the BRESSER Profi-WSC Wi-Fi Weather Station with a 7-in-1 sensor blends in perfectly in any home. Weather enthusiasts will find a wealth of data to explore: the wireless sensor measures the local outdoor temperature, humidity, wind speed, wind direction, rainfall, UV level and light intensity. Practical and eco-friendly: The outdoor sensor is also equipped with a solar panel to prolong the battery life. Quick startup with the WSLink app The WSLink app simplifies the configuration of your Wi-Fi weather centre so that you can access your local weather measurements as quickly as possible. With the app, you can configure the Wi-Fi connection, time server and weather data calibration for your weather station in a few simple steps. If you want to share your weather measurements online and access them remotely, the weather station can be connected to compatible weather platforms. The popular portals Weather Underground and Weathercloud can be added directly from the WSLink app. An additional provider – such as the German-language portal AWEKAS – can also be added. Wi-Fi weather station – feature-packed base station for monitoring the weather In addition to displaying the measurements from the outdoor sensor, the base station also features a number of other useful functions for keeping track of the weather. These include a weather forecast and the feels-like temperature, which will point you to the right side of your wardrobe. And if you want to know how strong the wind is blowing, you will find data on gusts, average wind speed and the current wind speed on the Beaufort scale. The base station also displays the current air pressure, as well as a trend indicator that can be used to draw conclusions about the latest meteorological developments. Indoor climate and more – your everyday assistant The indoor temperature and humidity are also important for our wellbeing. The weather station comes with a built-in hygro-thermo sensor and a trend indicator that alerts you to changes in your indoor climate. Not sure when to open the window? The high/low alarm for indoor/outdoor temperature and humidity can help you to prevent mildew and excessively dry air. The weather station can also alert you when it detects high wind speeds, heavy rainfall and steep drops in air pressure. If you’re passionate about meteorology, you’re probably keen to keep up to date with the latest weather trends. The maximum/minimum memory will help you to do just that. Keep track of the time: the weather station also displays the time, date, day of the week and moon phase. And thanks to the built-in alarm with a snooze function, you won’t need to worry about waking up late.

BRESSER Barlow Lens 2x 31.8mm/1.25"
With the usage of barlow lenses, you can extend the equivalent focal length of telescopes and hence increase the magnification of your observed targets. Subsequently, you can use lower power eyepieces in Barlows to act as much more powerful eyepieces, but retain the larger ocular size and more comfortable viewing that comes with lower power eyepiece designs.Due to their two lens design, these Barlow lenses provide a brilliant image quality for the whole visual field and are suitable for observations and photography.  The black coloured Barlow element cell in this BRESSER Barlow Lens 2x 31.8mm/1.25," can be unscrewed and has the same thread as 1.25" filters, allowing it to be mounted in 1.25" eyepieces, t-adapters and other accessories, giving you flexibility of use and the ability to vary magnification in different accessories.  For instance, the black Barlow cell screwed into the average length nosepiece of a standard push fit t-adapter will give around 1.6x magnification on an attached DSLR.  This can be very useful when trying to get to photographic focus with some Newtonians and Solar Telescopes, which lack the necessary amount of in focus travel to get a camera to a prime focus position.FEATURESsuitable for observations and photographydoubling of the focal lengthtwo lens designfully multi-coatedWHAT'S INCLUDEDBarlow lens (1pc)
