The following images are from the Sky cameras at the WAS observatories. The cameras were donated to the Society by a club member. The images are updated every 15 minutes during the hours of darkness. During the day the images are from the last transmission from the site for the night at dawn. The time stamp on each image gives the time the image was taken.
