Living in the northern hemisphere it's so weird seeing the moon like this. It just feels wrong even though I know it's not.

This hit me when I visited a friend in South Africa, I like to think I'm fairly well versed in the stars but the first time I looked up I've never felt so utterly lost! The moon, and orion, upsidedown just confused the hell out of me for a moment.

Southern cross does look pretty in real life though, never seen it with my own eyes before.

I mean, if you’re using a telescope the images are often flipped or even rotated 90°.

I mean it is wrong. From the reference of the rotation of the earth around the sun and the moon around the earth this is upside down

It is wrong. A refractor inverts the image. If he was really in the southern hemisphere (if it even exists), it would look the same as from the northern hemisphere through bare eyes. Q.E.D.

This is a good shoot, but most importantly, I appreciate you posting what you used.

Thanks.
