Check-out the detector device. Looks like a Samyang manual focus lens attached to a CCD camera of some kind.

You can't have it both ways, sunshine. They built their sensor themselves for relative peanuts around standard components. Instead of throwing sacks of money at their commercial vendor friends. With open ended development contracts. Like N$S$, or The Pentagoon$ would have done.

I have no problem with what those people did, none at all. Using inexpensive components is a good idea. It proves you don't need to mint gold in order to do some science.
