The high brightness of the Cerenkov radiation from EAS of superhigh and ultrahigh energies makes it possible to obtain EAS images with the help of a point-like aperture camera (a camera obscura). The skylight noise in this camera is greatly suppressed compared with traditional EAS Cerenkov detectors. An array of many cameras obscura is able to register EAS Cerenkov radiation in the presence of high-intensity sky noise-on full-Moon nights or even at twilight. The ability of the imaging camera to select EAS events makes it possible to design a relatively simple data acquisition system for an array of thousands of cameras.
