"Battlefield" and "another planet" aren't remotely equivalent. Even observing an SM+0 target on the moon from Earth requires a Vision roll at a -50 penalty. Setting aside game mechanics, in terms of optics and physiology, there's a range beyond which too few photons from the candles or torches or bonfire used in the ritual are hitting the eye—according to Google you need about 5 to 9 photons within 100 ms to get past the brain's noise filters.
