In gamma-ray astronomy using Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes (IACTs), the amount of observing time available is limited by a number of factors. One such factor is that the telescope cameras are made of photomultiplier tubes (PMTs) and are thus highly sensitive to light. The sky is 100 times brighter during full Moon than new Moon at the wavelengths most relevant to ground-based gamma-ray astronomy; the increased noise in the data stream due to moonlight photons both degrades the data quality and, more importantly, accelerates ageing of the PMTs. Thus, IACTs have historically been limited to observing during clear, moonless nights, or on nights where the moon is only partially illuminated and low in the sky. There are two approaches...
