      But, you couldn't have one photon per pixel.  To receive this with
an adequate C/N to actually "see this " (let's say TASO grade 4--, just
barely recogniseable) or a video S/N of 10 dB, with the given antenna,
this works out to something less than a light year, albeit the antenna
is 1000 km in diameter.  This, as a practical matter........
