| Morgan Hill Weather News: Monday 4/28/2008 11:00am Yesterday's gorgeous sunset was a fitting end to a glorious weather weekend: Thursday 4/24/2008 10:00am Like horses? Another newly born foal on the webcam this morning... more here. Wednesday 4/23/2008 12:30pm A few new features have been added to the webcam page: 1. Snapshot will launch a new window sized to accommodate the current 640x480 camera image. You can then save that image by selecting an option from the browser's right-click popup menu. Here are a couple of examples from last night's sunset... 2. Focus symbols are now available in the center of the control overlay. They are (from left to right) focus near, auto-focus and focus far. Near and far can be clicked multiple times to adjust the focus in or out. Auto-focus (AF) should be clicked only once to allow the camera to run it's focus algorithm. AF does not work well at night and often leaves the image blurred after a camera move. Manual focusing should help here. Please wait for the image to be refreshed before re-clicking any of these controls. Built-in delays attempt to compensate for the time the camera takes to perform the requested task. Saturday 4/19/2008 2:35pm Apparently Morgan Hill is not the only "town" subject to unpleasant odors from it's farming neighbors... CNN has the story: Stinky manure smell engulfs London Monday 4/7/2008 7:00pm We seem to be experiencing sporadic ISP outages on our Internet connection. Looks like another couple of hours of downtime this afternoon. Apologies to all who might have tried to connect to the web cam which would have been "unavailable". Friday 4/4/2008 2:00pm Here are some images snapped by the webcam yesterday.... on "foal watch": Tuesday 4/1/2008 12:01am For Immediate Release April 1st, 2008 Morgan Hill Weather Provides "Pilot's-Eye" ILS for South County Airport Using revolutionary digital imaging capabilities combined with leading-edge interactive controls, Morgan Hill Weather announces the availability of "Pilot's-Eye" ILS for pilots arriving or departing at South County Airport (E16) in San Martin, California. Online today, this ILS (Internet Landing System) delivers additional safety and convenience for pilots by providing a web-based panoramic view of the skies above and around the airfield. This view is achieved through strategic placement of a high power pan-tilt-zoom IP camera at 950ft above sea level in the neighboring foothills. Pilots can access the camera from their PC, wireless PDA or Internet enabled cell phone (see note 1) and control the most appropriate pilot's-eye view for their approach. Local weather or traffic conditions at South County Airport will no longer be a mystery to the growing community of general aviation pilots. "Wow, this is so cool... I can land my plane in a hurricane" said one local pilot, who refused to be named. "I'm already ordering a pizza and texting my girlfriend while on final approach, I can check this site too!" said another. "Now my students can't blame the weather when they blow off a lesson or claim they can't find the airport again to land" said a flight instructor who lives in San Jose. A spokesperson for the South County Airport Pilot's Association said "This is fantastic. We've been trying to get a web cam on the airport for years. We held a raffle, a whist drive, a sponsored wing-walk and even an aerial re-enactment of the Dambusters raid at nearby Lake Anderson but still only raised $27.13". "We are evaluating possible expansion of this ground-breaking service to include airports nationwide, enhanced by a trillion dollar network of military-grade imaging satellites" said spokesmen for both the FAA and Department of Homeland Security. Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin are equally excited by this development. "We don't have anything like this at Moffett Field and that's run by NASA !!! We are now looking at South County as a possible new home for the Googleplex and our personal Boeing 767 aircraft". Click here to experience "Pilot's Eye" ILS for yourself!
