Oh, but then you'd need a lot of observations in a lot of observable universes to truly confirm isotropy in our universe.Also, the Milky Way image would most likely be redshifted into oblivion, and that's not even talking resolution, but thanks for this answer.

Observations from the space telescope would be looking to disprove isotropy from that location. If the space telescope doesn't disprove isotropy from that location, this is at least partial confirmation. Similar to Eddington's 1919 eclipse test of Einstein's Theory of Relativity.

Milky Way may well be invisible to the space telescope, but other galaxies may well be visible from both directions.
