High-speed, high-resolution, low-light photography or video is difficult because there are very few photons. But astronomers have found the solution to be to use a large primary lens or (better yet) mirror.
Construct a camera with a very large light-gathering surface. No doubt it will be awkward and expensive. I don't know if salvaged astronomical mirrors will work because they might have been designed to focus on infinity. I haven't calculated how large a mirror must be to (say) take bright-as-day photographs or video illuminated by only starlight. It might be a billion dollar camera.
What will these images look like? The world has probably never seen high-resolution low-light video and as such we might intuitively (but wrongly) believe it to be impossible.
Similar in idea to Strobe Party.
