WHAT YOU WON’T SEE WITH A TELESCOPE
You won’t be able to see the American flag on the surface of the moon or black holes. You won’t see color as you would for deep-sky objects as you would in CCD images or astrophotography because they utilize low level CCD detection technology or special films in long exposure that allow the light and color to build up on the film. Our human eyes are not sensitive enough to detect colors in faint light.
