Well I should not say our telescopes in this spacetime are lousy. The
evolvement of glass(mirrors ) has just about reached its limit for light
photons. To reach out and get closer to my universe of 22 billion LY we
must search for "radio photons" Virtually all observatories use CCDs
to capture data. These I think are working just like what is in digital
cameras that turn images into digital data. We now must go with radio
observatories, It is wonderful that these individual radio dishes can be
combined(using "interferometry") to make for larger effective collecting
areas. I'm thinking about the VLA in New Mexico It is nice that this
large array of 27 radio dishes can effectively cover a baseline up to
several miles wide. I like that because I think the universe is even
bigger than I think it is. Bert
