Messing with people's headsTheophilous Thunderwulf says: What have you done to fuck with people? Was it a long, carefully planned piece of psychological warfare, or do you favour quick, off-the-cuff comments that confuse the terminally gullible? Have you been dicked with, and only realised many years later? Are you being dicked right now? Tell us everything.

Got my (7 yo.) daughter a700mm. telescope for Chrissie. I've got a fairly long (forgotten) background in amateur astronomy.
The craters on the moon are fascinating but she really wants to know what that couple up the road are up too.

To which, surely, the correct answer is"Well, if you look closely, you might be able to see his willy...no, wait, you'll need a stronger lens..."

Am I right in thinking that astronomical telescopes aren't much use for spying?Cos they turn the images upside down?
Or was someone messing with my head?

No, you're correct.
Terrestrial telescopes, on the other hand, reverse the image left-to-right, so that what you see in the telescope is the mirror image of what you're looking at.

It's truePutting the image right way up needs an extra lens or an extra mirror, and in astronomical telescopes you don't want to waste even a tiny bit of light with unnecessary refraction or reflection.
