However, you do *not* want an astronomy telescope for your stated purposes. Most telescopes used for astronomy will invert the image (unless you buy a diagonal for your eyepiece). Plus they will be more money than you want to spend for this purpose. I'd say a spotting scope would work fine, but I'd consider a good pair of binoculars first.
