All-Sky Camera

The All-Sky camera is mounted on the roof of the VATT. Fiber runs from the VATT to LBTO, level-2 CRA. The software application runs on the weatherstation-pc.mountain.lbto.org Windows PC. The image is displayed on that PC as well as on the WEATHERSTATION GUI.

The TCS_WDA process for the big displays accesses the All-Sky image data directly via a wget to the webserver on the env PC. The IP address/filename are configured in the config.txt file for the TCS_WDA :

# AllSky Current Image URL
ALLSKY_URL http://192.168.18.40/AllSkyCurrentImage.JPG
