I rarely venture wild guesses, but you may have a point there.

The fact that this is the exact photo that comes up with a moonfish google search is interesting.

So Dave, perhaps playing off the water game and the red herring, included "fish" in the hint for fun. He included moon because this game has a circular illuminated object over the field that will be detected by the new camera.

Have they ever included a camera in the KOP when it was not needed? That camera isn't free - I would wager they wouldn't provide it unless it was going to be used.

Re: Game Hint #1

Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary

Opah: A large oceanic fish (Lampris quttatus), inhabiting the Atlantic Ocean. It is remarkable for its brilliant colors, which are red, green, and blue, with tints of purple and gold, covered with round silvery spots. Called also king of the herrings.

so, moon, fish, new software, anagrams....

or just the king of red herrings.

Nice find is very nice. So basically, this could mean that this is just one king-of-a-herring.
