Prisms and mirrors help you improve your viewing situation for both astronomical and terrestrial applications. Erecting prisms are most helpful for terrestrial viewing as they correct images with reversed left/right orientation and provide a comfortable 45 viewing position. Likewise, diagonal mirrors provide a comfortable viewing position and can allow for larger eyepiece diameters.
