Guy can't figure out why a FLIR video of an object moving at several hundreds knots (or more) taken by this Raytheon AN/ASQ-228 ATFLIR underwing targeting pod...

doesn't look like the cool celestial photos shot through the perfect vacuum of space taken by this 25K-lb behemoth?

Really?

Gun/targeting cameras aren't designed to create studio-quality images of stationary objects. They're designed to see through fog, clouds, precipitation and other atmospheric conditions in virtual blackness. Combat pilots don't need to read the writing on the fuselage of the aircraft they're trying to shoot down.
