Abstract
The integration of new technologies such as video and auto focus devices with existing high-speed photographic instrumentation is considered. For a great percentage of daytime activity the desert atmosphere is shown to be a limiting factor for collection of visual data. Atmospheric considerations are shown to be an important consideration for future instrument design.
