Could I use it upside down, placing the sun on a table and have the planets stick up in the air, or are wires too weak?

I bought this for my grandsons who live in another state so I am not sure. I will tell you that after I made the first comment I found out the sun did not work. But they said it looked nice. Sorry, wish I could answer for you.

Unfortunately, because of the length and thinness of the wires, you would not be able to place it on a table and have the planets stick up in the air. Great idea and would be an awesome learning tool if it could be used that way.

Because it would have a base to tie to if you were to hang it upside down, it would be feasible to attach it to an easel. Mine is inoperative since I wanted it for a picture light and it is basically out of reach for the VERY frequent battery replacement it requires. It does not put out a lot of light. I was disappointed on both counts: battery life and inadequate illumination.

I think the only way to accomplish this would be to mount it on the vesa mount 90 degrees. So make sure you want to keep it this way for a while, lol. You cannot simply just rotate it.

Yes....just keep it pointed toward the sun. There should be a video on amazon.

It may be very tricky some are small the bigger Planets are two piece so you might be able to do something there. My daughter said she would NOT recommend it for a center piece, unless you buy a set for each table . Hope this helps you out.

You can position the lights to cover 180 degrees. The sensor is not moveable so it does not react to 180.

There is no reason why you couldn't. The directional lights will make it easy for you to illuminate exactly what you want. You can even do the simple Velcro installation in lieu of screwing it in, since you don't have gravity working against you.

make sure it faces the southwest sky and there are no objects blocking the solar panel. also if another source of light at night is close by, it will turn the light sensor switch off. :-) JM

I guess you could. My question is why not buy an adaptor to attach to your telescope so it (the telescope) can track the stars and planets when they are at zenith?

Yes but there is a catch. You have to be above 6000 feet with a full sun holding the Monster with both hands above your head. You also have to be grounded so you will not be shocked.The experience is both eerie and cool. I've been doing this for six months now and am rather enjoying it. Try it and let me know your experience.

That should work fine. The higher the better. Many say a dipole works better at an inverted v angle 90-120 degrees. Mine is about 100 degrees and 35 ' high and does well. Good tx and RX :)

It will work fine, just don't expect scientific quality. The star maps are not extremely bright or very accurate.

I would say yes. The bracket swivels down and up. Make sure the Motion sensor can be aimed to where it picks up movement. You would have to mount solar panel where it would be pointed to the sun. I had mine now for acouple months now still working great. Hope that helps

Yes, it can be used for that purpose. However, the image will be inverted because of the 90 degree eyepiece holder. They make a 45 degree eyepiece that corrects that. Just don't ever use it to look directly into the sun, without a filter. Blindness can occur in a short time.

I'm sure you can wire them to any light that has a positive and a ground. However, they are not quality made and overheat till the glue melts, causing all the components to separate. Mine only lasted a few days.

All the images in these make of telescopes are inverted but there are erecting adapters available. I have never used one because they are for refractors and Schmidt Cassegrain. The angle might be a hindrance.

Yes, it's possible to wire it, only considering the appropiate polarization of wires, including earth wire.
