Dobs work for terrestrial too if you don't mind the orientation of the image and your target isn't too close. Looked at some cranes with the 10" the other week, which were sitting on an aerial pole about 100m away, give or take (about the closest the dob can focus without changing the configuration). I could actually see their eye lids blink.
The magnifying power of an astro scope is immense. Use responsibly.
