The Hubble deep field image was constructed by collecting photons from a specific region of space over a continuous duration of time; in this case ten days. As the number of collected photons increase, higher the resolution of the image.
If this duration increases, how much more resolution do you get to see? Specifically what if we had a continuous field of view of a certain galaxy - is there some distance for which you could see things in very high definition? Would we be able to see features on exoplanets ? This is of course a function of distance from us, but I am curious to know what kind of information we have about this.
