This is a night-vision monocular kit that only has 1X magnification so you wouldn't be able to use this unit like a telescope. You may be able to see stars and such but it would only be slightly closer or clearer than you would be able to see with the naked eye.

Okay, umm, no offense to other answer, but ignore that response. I went outside in a rural area on a semi stormy night with patchy clear spots in the sky. I could see about 50 stars with the naked eye. When I turned this unit on and looked up, I gasped. Hundreds to thousands filled the sky were I could only see dozens. It was absolutely gorgeous. I was filming a review of this unit for YouTube and I had to stop filming because I was so surprised and I wanted to keep looking. So yes, you will see more stars using this. As the other person correctly said, it’s just a 1x magnification, so you’re not closer. You don’t get better views of them, you just see more of them.
