can i view something 5 miles away?

Depends on the size of what you're looking at. This telescope is certainly not purposed for land viewing, since it's a reflector, which inverts the image. There are things you can do to correct the inversion, but that would be too much trouble and not worth it. You'd be better off getting a refractor telescope, and something on a tripod, since you need the scope high up to look at things on the same plane.

No, this telescope is for astronomy purposes only. If you wish to do land viewing, get a pair of binoculars, or some smaller refractor telescopes can be equipped for land viewing. This telescope flips the images upside down, as is normal for telescopes. I have looked at airplanes with this telescope, but they zoom across the screen faster than I can manually track it.

Yes, if you have a clear line of sight to the object you want to see. If you mean something on the ground, remember that the horizon may be an obstruction depending on the distance, eye's hight, and the target's hight.

Many suggest that you take a tape measure to a store that sells the 4661 and check the experience yourself. My viewing distance is 7.5 feet and it seemed okay to me.

The image from the camera will not be viewable 30 miles away without additional equipment. A DVR with network connection is one way to view the image remotely.

The light range seems to work best at about 4 to 5 feet, but the light is still strongly visible at about 8+ feet away.

Unfortunately it's range is only a few inches. You need some sort of GPS locator.

yes, np even if you are quite cloise to it. YES, EVEN IF YOU ARE QUITE CLOSE TO IT. HOWEVER, THE VIEW IS BETTER IF YOU ARE A FEW FEET AWAY. y

Like the others posted, the distance is pretty far. I have seen up to 50 feet and the light us still good. Haven't needed to go any further.

Yes you can. Doesnt have quite the range as I had hoped but, they did advertise "up to......." which means maybe less distance.

It works and as for distance the further away you are the smaller the picture, so the answer is I have not tried it at 30 feet and my office is not set up for that but if I am 5 ft away the pic is smaller and therefore harder to see. So the answer is yes and no. Yes you will see something and no it won't be much.

I'm not sure, so I just walked outside and measured the approximate distance from where the projector was on Saturday. I would say about 11 - 12 feet. You could probably pull back the projector more but you would need a really big screen and you may loose some of the crisp image quality...maybe I'll make a bigger screen and test it out...

I don't own the tv and don't want to give any false information , here is a website where it talkes about the viewing distance for 3Dhttp://3d-tvbuyingguide.com/3dtv/step5-3d-view-distance.html

Yes. But you won't see the laser from that far. You should start about 25 yards where you can see the laser and move out from there.

yes, you can do this, and the range is pretty large, i've used my computer over 40 meters away.

Most certainly! You should have absolutely NO issues in viewing objects in that range.

I've never needed to use it for anything more than about 40 feet away. I know it will work much further than that because I've seen it on tv but I'm guessing you would lose definition if you're looking at something small.

We have the camera mounted on a garage about 60' from our cottage. I'm guessing we are getting about 100' field of view at that distance. More than adequate.

50 miles fringe at best my be better off with some type of directional beam.if you're talking later at night when the Skip dies down it'll probably make the trip.fifty miles is a long way even with an amplifier which is illegal on 11 meters
