I've used a C8 for terrestrial viewing plenty of times, and I really love it, I've also used it as a Prime lens during the day for photography.
Not sure about the stability of the nextstar mounts and how much time it takes the image to settle down after each move, My C8 was on a more solid mount.
The only thing with any long focal length scope is the narrow field of view so if you get the C8, factor in purchasing a 6.3 focal reducer or similar.
