Ah, but most of the stars will also be at an infinite distance. If a galaxy can be receeded to an invisible pinpoint, smaller than stars even in Hubble's view, then I don't doubt a group of galaxies could do the same.

EDIT: in other words, most of the photons don't even reach any point you'd care to name. Or just haven't yet; light, whatever else it may do, does have a finite speed.

Infinite stars, true. But also infite space..
