Question:
Howard, 8 July 2011
how far in feet/yards can you see with this telescope
Answer:
Thank you for this question. There isn’t really a maximum visibility for this telescope, or any telescope, as it merely magnifies images.
Telescopes face the same obstacles to their visible range as the human eye: weather, clouds, physical obstacles, etc. So if, on a clear day, you can see 5 km from the top of a building, then items 5 km away will look 8-10 times closer. However, you can also see much farther with the telescope. Looking up into the sky, you can see vastly farther. Looking out at Earth you are limited by the curvature of the Earth.
