RAPTOR could also be the first observatory to take movies of such exotic objects as giant flares on sunlike (solar) stars and orphan gamma-ray bursts.
Several factors complicate measurements near the horizon: the sky background is brighter because of the sun and nearby towns, celestial objects are dimmer because their light passes through more air to reach the telescopes, and the amount of air the light passes through changes rapidly with the elevation angle.
Although RAPTOR is expected to find many transient optical events on its own or by responding to satellite alerts, the data collected through sky monitoring are valuable on their own.
