What part of Tucson is seen?

The camera view shows the western part of the Catalina Mountains; the foothills west of Craycroft; and the campus west and north of Old Main.

What's that glare?

An abandoned solar dish on the Civil Engineering building reflects the sun.

Is that a fire?

No, that's water vapor from the refrigeration plant on Helen Street.

Why can't I see anything at night?

The camera is not sensitive enough to take decent nighttime images when its iris is adjusted for good daytime images. Longer exposures just create a frame full of noise. The building's deeply tinted windows don't help.

Can you make a change...

• to aim the camera further east?
• to aim the camera further west?
• to add humidity, wind speed, etc.?
• to better advertise the department?

I like it the way it is now.

Did you see this neat photo?

No, I didn't; thanks for pointing that out. With several hundred images collected every day, it's easy to miss a notable lucky shot. (The best are shown on the album page.)
