In both cases you'd need to know some properties of the distribution to get a random bitstream.

Which pixel would you be looking at? Below what threshold would you call it a 0 rather than 1? How long till you can confidently say next reading will be uncorrelated?

I don't know how the astronomical imaging solved these (and TBH cosmic ray scanning seems a bit overkill to me too).
