They bought a scientific grade camera from the company I was working for at the time, and I added an extension to our software to compare consecutive images and save any that had interesting differences. The motivation was similar to their screen saver -- looking for a needle in a haystack.
The regular SETI program. I set the nice to low and the computer not to sleep & ran it 24/7 on 8 and the one ran only as screensaver
