The visual distortion effects visible to an observer traveling around anddescending to the surface of an extremely compact star are described.Specifically, trips to a ``normal" neutron star, a black hole, and anultracompact neutron star with extremely high surface gravity, are described.Concepts such as multiple imaging, red- and blue-shifting, conservation ofsurface brightness, the photon sphere, and the existence of multiple Einsteinrings are discussed in terms of what the viewer would see. Computer generated,general relativistically accurate illustrations highlighting the distortioneffects are presented and discussed. A short movie (VHS) depicting many ofthese effects is available to those interested free of charge.Comment: 23 pages, Plain TeX (v. 3.0), figures in American Journal of Physics,  61, 619, 1993, video available upon written (hard copy) request onl
