The University of Pittsburgh Observatory is experimenting with just
such an imaging system in one of their major projects, trying to
(indirectly) observe planetary systems around nearby stars.  They claim
that the fiber optics provide so much more resolution than the
photography they used before that they may well succeed.  Another major
advantage to them is that they have been able to automate the search;
no more days spent staring at photographs.
