    One of the challenges of very long lenses is that they tempt you to compose images of subjects that are very far away. But the farther away something is, the more the atmosphere can distort the image. The effects of heat distortion, pollution, humidity, and weather are amplified across longer distances, no matter how sharp the lens is or how high resolution the sensor.

      @mattblaze@federate.social You need an astronomer’s adaptive lens with some sodium lasers to measure what real-time adaptations are needed.
