Your Image literally contains the Hubble telescope.
Are you retarded?

NASA makes some nice watercolors.

I'm talking about amateurs not tied to a government institution.
An altitude of 100km+ is achievable with rockoons for example.

Stabilization is a big issue with taking pictures from amateur rockets. Rockets are inherently unstable and if you develop a guidance system and tell anyone how you did it the glowies will stick your ass in jail.

Also Sofia, M.O.S.T.

A friend of mine made the telescope for the second one. Pretty damn good for 6-inch aperture and only weighing 1.2 lb. A lot of Machining though beryllium components to keep the weight to an absolute minimum. Peter actually made two though, the first one was a proof of concept to be sure it could be done. He has it on his mantle in a display case

I keep sending cameras up and the Feds keep shooting them down.

James Web space telescope is doing just that.
Check out Astrobin. Plenty of amateur astro photographers are taking photos from Earth.
