Is it good for terrestrial viewing?

I purchased this item for my grandson, so I am not sure. I am sorry I can not be more help.

Yes it would be excellent as terrestrial viewing if you don't mind the long tube

Yes absolutely! It gives an excellent picture in any format that you choose! It really is an excellent TV all round! It is a great purchase. If you're not interested in the 3D option it is a waste of money. But if you want it, it is worth it for sure IMHO.

You can look as far as you want. I've looked at the moon and saw more detail but that is not its purpose. I would say it is most effective when looking at a specific object under a mile. I have used mine while hunting and most objects are within 500 yards. You should ask yourself what is the main reason for buying the monocular. For sporting events or hunting, it is great but not so great for astronomy.

No, you can not use it like a telescope for viewing. It will identify and tell you about the "dot" in the sky you see through the viewer though. It parlays this info to you through reading on the screen or through audio output. It is very handy when trying to identify a constellation you think you might be seeing, as it will tell you which star/planet you are seeing in it and will tell you about the constellation as well.

Yes I think it would be fine for that, the only limitation is the limited range of viewing. I have a difficult time on objects that small beyond 75 yards. Overall I would get it again.

While it is NOT a telescope I have used mine to look at the moon and Jupiter. You will need a good tripod of course. But it was quite clear at looking at the craters of the moon. A bit shaky if bumped. Like I said, it is not a telescope.

Yes, it is often used for viewing First Person View (FPV) from remote control aircraft. You would need to buy a separate video transmitter, receiver, and display device.

If viewing relatively fixed objects at long distances is all you want to do, a telescope would be better. For general use and very basic star gazing, these would be fine.

Yes, you can see. The image quality will not be the best due to lighting and focus distance.

I use mine regularly for sky watching, with good results. However, a larger objective would make for brighter views.

Absolutely not. The focus is not crystal clear and the image is not bright enough for stars. Also, the zoom feature requires refocusing throughout the magnification range which is very frustration.

No. I suggest finding a nice dark spot to observe away from light sources as the best step to good viewing. As for observing the moon, a lunar filter is a good investment. The moon is very bright.

it works fine as long as your eyes can see it. if it's an environment even af fails to lock on, you are probably better off with liveview + magnification

I really couldn't say much about it, except its great for viewing the moon. That's all I've had a chance to do so far. Winter in New England doesn't make for good stargazing or sight seeing. Haha

Yes...any lens 9mm or higher will be great fir terrestial viewing as long as you have an erecting lens...good luck

This is for celestrial AND terrestrial viewing. yes, you can look at the whales. And yes, you can view the beautiful night sky:D

In general I never keep it in My eye for any extended period of time, but I have to say that I've noticed no discomfort in the times that I have used it it certainly has good resolution and I wouldn't hesitate to buy it again. It turned out to be a little bit larger than I had anticipated as I was looking for a small pocket monocular, But that's made up for in its clarity and range of vision. In general I think you'll like it Jane, good luck
