Thanks for that suggestion.

I did a google and it came up with some stars that have been imaged. These images seem to have been zoomed as the pixels are large.

These are recent technologies, less than 15 years perhaps.

I was actually referring to glass/mirror lensed telescopes. Even amateur telescopes with a camera can image a galaxy but can't get a good sized image of a star.

I suppose some maths would be able to show why we can't see stars as more than just points of light.

Anyway, just something that I have wondered about.

Thanks
