Everything about a telescope is designed to maximise your long-range viewing of space and the night sky. It has a large optical tube for more light gathering, intense magnification capabilities for viewing things millions of lightyears away and an angled viewing lens for comfort. However, all this makes it quite a heavy and large object, which means it’s not very portable and is almost impossible for terrestrial viewing.
For terrestrial viewing, such as nature observation, this is where spotting scopes shine.
The magnification is much lower and will not work well at night however the image quality due to the precision glass elements is much higher.
This means that you can get exceptional close-up views of nature from great distances.
Although these spotting scopes are optimised for terrestrial observation, they will offer fantastic views of the moon. Spotting scopes can be configured in have straight or angled viewing depending on your needs, However, if you want to view more of the night sky and astronomy as spotting scope is not for you.
