About LE wanting tapes or pics.....how many people are filming or taking pics at night??
Probably not many IMO... but if the one person who DID film or take pics at night or early AM had the right footage, it might be just what they need. In my younger days before I understood that it just wasn't gonna work, I tried to take pics of stars and constellations all the time. I never even looked at what was in the background, but I would have if LE was looking for something like that.
