Reply to comment by WictImov in If you could instantaneously place a space telescope at any desired distance (LYs), from any planet/galaxy etc., where would it be and what would you be documenting? And for what purpose? by kennyarsen
Hmm I swear I read a thing or two about the concept! The idea being if you were at a certain distance away, the BH could capture and 'focus' light emitted behind it, such that the image would be in finer detail? Unless I misunderstood. And I briefly tried searching the web for answers, but could only find articles about basic concepts of lensing. I'll keep looking!
My thinking was, if this were indeed possible, you could maybe rotate around the BH to get many clearer images of many different objects
