I'd assume not. We'd be watching their past, from my understanding. Sorta like video lagging when the audio is fine? Light (therefore appearance of objects) reaches us later than it occurs, so the same logic may be applied to observing them depending on where we do it from and what devices we use.

Yeah, I get that it takes an extremely long time for the light to reach us, I think I was just curious about the speed effecting the light, but I suppose it's not fast enough, or close enough to the speed of light to warp time enough to be noticeable.
Just a thought experiment I was playing out in my head but didn't have all the pieces to make it work. Thanks
