If you look at the supplementary information document, there's more pictures.
There's definitely quite a haze around light sources. It seems they have tried applying some deconvolution to try to increase the sharpness, but the resulting images are still quite muddled.
I really think they could have done better with `Visualization3.mp4`. The black and white ICCapture screen recording of an LED light (?) doesn't really do a whole lot to show off the achromatic capabilities of their lens.
I hope they point it at the night sky and see a green star. That would be a very exciting event, as naturally green stars are not possible. I know that if I was an advanced "angler fish" type of civilization, that's definitely the lure I would use in a dark forest universe. on that note i hope the scientists are not stupid enough to send a signal to that star.

Here's one of the libraries they used: https://github.com/apsk14/rdmpy

How does it work?
seems to me it's a Fresnel Lens, unfortunately the article is behind a paywall to say more

Why would they detect a green star ?
