Yep, as much as I love imaging, it still doesn't compare to 'Seeing' an object with your own eye! It's kind of 'Mystical'.

Especially when I think how far back in time I am seeing, how far in light years distance I am seeing, and how large the object is I am seeing.

Mind-blowing stuff when you consider those things while eyeballing
