Man what a throwback to B33 roof.
Those are the AERONET sensors for a NASA project. I was an overseer and maintenance guy for em. They use filters and detectors with math to figure out particle types and size in the atmospheric column.

There's some that do 50hz for under 500USD, only at 256*192 at the moment. I'm waiting to see how SEEK's new cores shake out

Have you considered getting a cheaper "dongle" camera? They're great fun and cheap

A simple double convex lens, with a around 150mm focal length in front of the existing lens aughta pull your minimum focal distance closer. Will have to print an aux holder to allow use of standard focus mechanism

This one is out of the cooled unit, the real game is finding lenses and optics that do not shred the wallet. Our best scores are several zoom lenses for under a grand each with cores.
The best bet is actually Zinc Selenide, as it's broadband transmissive and cheap due to use in CO2 laser cutters

Whoever is teaching these sailors how to shoot photos is doing a damn good job.
The median level of mil photography I've seen on DVIDS has been dramatically improving over the years. It's getting style, not just left on auto mode snapshot. BZ to Allen, first shot has excellent composition
