Experiments on capsule implosions in gas-filled hohlraums have been carried out on the Nova Laser at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. Observed capsule shapes are more oblate than predicted using modeling methods which agree well with experiments in evacuated hohlraums. Improvements in modeling required to calculate these experiments and additional experiments are being pursued. {copyright} {ital 1996 American Institute of Physics.}
