(meteorobs) Optimized filters for daytime fireball video capture?

[Ed Majden]

George:
	In this case, the group is using a fisheye All-sky camera recording  
with a red end sensitive video camera.  Film is not being used in  
this instance.  The video cameras used have poor sensitivity at the  
blue end but are good into the near IR.    To do what you suggest  
would require the cameras to be monitored and moved when the Sun  
becomes a problem.  Not very practical for day-to-day monitoring!
