 Astronomical telescopes will turn the image upside down and reverse . For terrestrial viewing you need special diagonal to correct the image, this can olny be done on a refractor or compound scope.  

Spoting Scopes are for terriestrial use and form a correct image view, they do not make good astronomical scopes.
