Did You Know?

Under the right conditions, the human eye can see the light of a candle at a distance of 14 miles!

Under the right conditions my human eye can see a Rolo Doughnut at 3ft on the table ,, and the human mouth is about to enjoy the sight

 

[Hill Wimp]

Under the right conditions i can spot a packet of peppermint creams from several miles away

 

[surfdude]

under the right conditions the Andromeda Galaxy (M31), at 2.25 million (2,250,000) light years is the most distant thing the naked human eye can see

Now build a camera to match the human eye, capability wise.

Size & cost of said Hubble telescope. Note not a camera. Also remember it had a corrective lens put in place a number of years ago.

Well yes - except any imaging device might be described as a camera

You can use a telescope to see further than the unaided eye can see though.
You still missed the cost out though.

Try looking for fleas on a cat using the Hubble telescope instead of human eyes.

That sounds a wee bit exasperated

I never said it would get us anywhere!

Good god. That's further than Yorkshire.

I wasn't blaming you, it was the Hubble trouble.. Twenty six by twenty five started it.

Anyway, the Hubble Telecope must be analogous to the eye since both have a lens and a means of acquiring the data. Interpretation of the data in both cases is separate, as is the storage.

For fleas i would advocate Advocate. You wouldn't need to look for them then.
