I missed this bit
"Keeping a schlieren optical system correctly aligned
while in proximity to an operating shock tube tunnel
might be ... interesting! (At least electronic imaging
-probably- makes life easier than some of the stories
I've heard about the old high-speed film cameras...)"
Yes, but concrete is cheap.
I'm just "banging around" with the idea out loud.
