Hey Dustin,
I'm no physicist, and certainly not an expert on optics, but I have used a
certain tool to observe meteors which somewhat meets your criteria.
The tool is night-vision. This can be in the form of a CCD (charge-coupled
device) camera hooked up to a monitor, or so-called night-vision goggles
such as the type the military uses. The latter would offer a wide-field,
while greatly amplifying the light of stars and meteors.
But, you probably already knew this. Just thought I'd let you know!
Looking forward to tonight's Chandra Burn,
joshua
