My Maxxum 9 has a mechanical shutter speed of 1/12,000 of a second.
Only 83 times slower than 1/1,000,000. It is a moving slit of the
curtains in the camera.

But the slit takes about 1/250th sec to traverse the entire frame.
The fireball would be out by the time the first exposure was
complete! :-(
Similar problem with the idea of the slit in a rotating disk,
although with a big enough disk the slit could be larger than the
frame size.
It isn't just the exposure time that has to occur in 1/millionth of
a sec, it is the exposure of the entire frame.

Somebody else beat ya to it.

It happens. As do propagation delays getting posts from one server to
another. From what I can see, the above post was made at least 2hrs
before any other addressing problem.
