    What types of telescope would be best for land viewing? What are they called?

    I looked around and it seems that everything is for astronomical viewing.

    UP News flash!

    Man arrested for using telescope to peep on apartment of local woman.

    Local suspected peeper, known by his FHC handle "Yooper Dave" is quoted as saying "I swear I was just looking at HER...I mean THE moon"

    We have to be careful. There are two Yooper Dave's on here. yooperdave whom we all love to tease and give a bad time to and Yooper Dave who I hope is willing to overlook some of our shenanigans.

    After only known about the UP from FHC, I think I might agree with you.
