That's an eye, super good stuff.
Here's another, 100 m job...
http://www.eso.org/projects/owl/
It's like "Boldly Going...Gone Before."
Do a bit of math, 100 m's is 10,000x 1cm pupil,
so the OWL get's us optically 10,000x closer,
visually.
Sirius is about 8.8 Light yrs away, (3212 Light days).
/10,000 ~ 8 Light hours.
By comparison Pluto is about 9 light hours away.
>From there we should be able to see most of the
Sirian Systems planets, perhaps even Mercurial
planets.
Talk about Warp Drive, we move 8.8 light years
with the flick of a switch, and in our lifetimes!
