“The cam is back!!!!!”
Actually, this appears to be a different cam than I saw last week. As I recall, the images last week were of the media towers, not the Mt. Wilson observatory. Maybe it can rotate.
Pretty sure it can, they specifically mentioned the direction it was looking in some of the info given on the page. Last report, from Wednesday, a team was going to try and fix their connectivity and get the cam back online and they expected it would be by today.
“Towercam movement is controlled by using a standard TV antenna rotator. The rotation is in the horizontal plane only, and is manually controlled by the observer on duty. The field of view covers approximately 260 degrees ranging from Mt. Pacifico in the north to just past Mt. Harvard in the south.”
