Abstract
The performance and usefulness of long focal length photography in the Central European environment provides a formidable question. Through the use of measured atmospheric data, a better insight into the performance can be gained. The limited data bases available provide a tool whereby the very important contrast transmittance parameter can at least be bracketed. Combining the contrast transmittance with cloud and visibility data for the area provides a measure of usefulness.
