Yeah, the pictures are a little over-the-top. It's still amazing, though. Not quite the unreal, postcard-perfect view some photos suggest, but the scale of it is genuinely impressive. The pool itself is really nice—clean, well-maintained, etc. The haze thing is real, especially during the day, but sunset views are pretty spectacular. Save the telescope, unless you're planning on birdwatching. You'll get a great view without needing extra magnification. Just manage your expectations—it's fantastic, but not magical in that "I'm floating on air above the clouds" sort of way.
