A terrestrial telescope is something like a SPOTTING SCOPE that you would use to see the target at a gun range, or to look at birds in the back yard. Something like this-- the images are right side up.

Nothing. All astronomical telescopes show upside down images. There is no up or down in space. You can buy an "erecting prism diagonal".
Just Google it----- and you will see several examples that you can buy. These are only used for terrestrial viewing.

I have six telescopes:
Meade LX90
Celestron C6- SGT
Meade ETX 90
Orion XT 10 Dobsonian
Stellarvue 80mm Nighthawk
Stellarvue 80/9d Refractor
Opps forgot one-- a Celestron 80mm refractor mounted on the top of my LX90 that makes 7 scopes.
