The theory is possible.

Closer looks would require better viewers of course.
It was a good book!
Does anyone remember the name of that Book?
I'd like to read it again.

Oh yes, definitely possible, this method is used to take pictures from the "past" universe. Hubble has taken pictures off galaxies hundreds of millions of years from the "past". The James Webb space telescope that is to be launched in few years is hoped to be able to take pictures of galaxies and planets from the very early universe.
