This Japanese camera is designed for amature astronomers imaging faint
objects. It is black and white but has very high sensitivity and
on-camera integration for shutter speeds of from 0.5 msec to 10sec or
unlimited http://www.neutronoptics.com/astro.html#Wat-120N+ Output is
normal PAL (or NTSC) video. It can be captured to imageJ using
variations of "vdubcap" http://www.neutronoptics.com/vdubcap.html

With Peltier cooling http://www.neutronoptics.com/astro.html#peltier
it would cost much less than $2000 including f1.0 lens and USB2 video
frame capture dongle (email me privately for details).
