Yes... that's one thing that "blows my mind" about this whole scenario: I'm only a lowly amateur astronomer using pretty average gear, yet I'm seeing galaxies that are quite possibly near the edge of the universe?!?! as Ving said, "woah!". Amazing stuff.
No matter how far or close they are relative to the furthest known, they are still so faint and distant....
