Automatic Exposure Camera Results

Teak filas from the automatic exposure control cameras show a few good
early frames.

Because a greater part of the luminescence was over in so short

a tine, the filter mechanisa followed late, resulting in gross underexposure.
Due Co erroneous shot position, only a portion of the fireball was within the
field of view.

Because of cloud cover during the Orange event, initial phases

of the detonation were underexposed.

At later time, the images are diffuse,

again because of clouds, but exposure is more nearly correct.

Both caneras functioned during Oracge, but because of the cloud cover and resultant diffuse images, accuracy of the data is seriously limited.
