I've been told that some national borders make it clear about the difference attitudes toward the environment. That is, one side of the border is filled with trees and the other is denuded by a population that doesn't think in the long term and simply trashed the environment.
That kind of difference might be visible through one of these telescopes, especially if the border is long.
Yea that's a good point. The classic example is Haiti and the Dominican Republic, where the DR has trees on the border in contrast with often a bare landscape just on the other side.
There's also the less prominent East/West Berlin border which is still visible due to the different light bulbs used in the different format street lights.
