Q&A: What is wrong with my telescope? I see a reflection of my own eye when I look into the eyepiece.?
Question by Brenda P: What is wrong with my telescope? I see a reflection of my own eye when I look into the eyepiece.?
I have a used Meade telescope (not electric other than Starfinder); I can see the moon, but have to look “around” the mirror – a reflection of my eye and the eyepiece itself covers up the middle of my field of vision. I put my hand inside the tube, and the mirror does not appear to be moveable.

This is completely normal for a Newtonian reflector telescope…in fact it indicates that your telescope is properly collimated (aligned).
Actually, you should only see a reflection of your own eye when you look into the eyepiece holder without an eyepiece in it. It should look like this:
