If you plan on using it a lot, you will quickly get used to having things upside down though. Remember, in space, there is no right side up or upside down.

If your reflector is a Cassegrain type (eyepiece at the back) you're better off using an erecting diagonal, but if you have Newtonian, this is what you need. It’s called an erecting eyepiece.

[edit] Thought I might add that I've always heard of these accessories referred to as "image erectors," never "eyepieces" of any sort. It's no more an eyepiece than is a filter or barlow lens. Is this what you’re looking for?
