Alpha Crusis is 230 light years from earth.

If we could find a reflecting element in that system and digitally zoom in, we could watch history as it was in the Revolutionary period. Historians would love that. But as any photographer can tell you, you can only see as much detail in the print as is captured on the film.

of course, if space is curved, we may eventually be able to see Earth itself as the light emitted back to Hubble curves too.
