Telescope without lens or mirrors, is this a usable idea?

Hi, was looking at mars, and of cause it is extremely bright, but I do not have a big telescope.
So no detail really...
Then I started thinking, making my own mirror, a big job, a new hobby, and it will take me years
to gettings right (if I get it at all working).
Then started thinking, wow, I had this big photo multiplier, extremely sensitive,
SOME of these can detect a single photon (so they say).
Now what if you took say a thousand of these, and had them all in a line, and each one look at mars
through a thin tube, so only the photons from the direction of that tube would be seen.
Align the tubes so it forms a scan line.
Then just wait for mars to pass, that would give a picture....
1000 vertical resolution, horizontal atmosphere troubles could be integrated, would be slow scan.
(Well you could follow mars slowly too, to slow down the scan).
The tubes would have to be very accurate, but why not?
