Hi

I think I have come across tourist terrestrial telescopes tagged as man_made=telescope.

While this is technically correct it gets rendered as an astronomy telescope.

Should this be better mapped as tourism=viewpoint perhaps with telescope=yes?
This would also present the opportunity to add binocular=yes as a distinction from a telescope.
A fee could also be tagged with with fee:telescope=yes or telescope:fee=yes?

Possibly the definition of man_made=telescope needs to include the word astronomy?
