Hmm, it just occurred to me to say "about 300 million light years on a good night.". What do you think?

Oh Alex,
You do not know how much this frustrates me, especially when I try to explain that the purpose of a telescope is to see fainter rather than further though fainter usually means further.
Next time I'll just tell the furtherst thing I have seen through my telescope is ic 1296 a galaxy only 220 million light years away.
.
Anyways
We can only try to educate
Cheers Orestis
