Topic: Online Streamed Astronomy Images

[GillE]

Is there anywhere online which streams live astronomy images?  If I wanted to look at (say) Betelgeuse live and zoom in, could I?

Where are Clive and Sam when you need them?!   

[Clive]

Clive was nursing the baby back to sleep.     I'm sure Sam will come up with something better but I can offer you the Cambridge All-Sky camera situated at the Institute of Astronomy.  The url is http://www.beskeen.com/allskycam.shtml but be warned there are a few dead pixels which can be confused for stars.  You can't zoom in though.  Cambridge probably has the greatest number of cloud free skies anywhee in the country.

Thanks Clive - bookmarked

you could use wikisky, which has archived images... or if you wanted to take your own the bradford telescope (http://www.telescope.org/) offers a service where you request observations takes a while though.
