Cheesey Posted May 19, 2015 Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 (edited) Glastobation can now commence in earnest.

Pinhead Posted May 19, 2015 Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 Its probably just the PC version with IE / Flash combination. Flash isn't on most phones / tablets now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marktea Posted May 19, 2015 Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 Simply superb Will be glued to this over the next few weeks. Hope they manage to get the permissions to cover SE corner as well at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghandi Posted May 19, 2015 Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 It needs rotating a bit round to the left! There is nothing to see past the John Peel to the right yet we miss out West holts etc, though I do appreciate that it perhaps doesn't have that wider scope.

Cheesey Posted May 19, 2015 Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 (edited) EDIT: The plot thickens....this seems to have been a temporary glitch (scanning/tracking problem?) The current image looks fine. What's with the weird wobbly landscape on the right of the image? It doesn't look right to me: Here's what it should look like, from the old webcam: Edited May 19, 2015 by Cheesey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. the camera pan could be nudged slightly to the east...but this'll do for me right now!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomThomDrum Posted May 19, 2015 Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 (edited) Good point. Found the external link easier to use, bigger view as well although the zoom is disabled using the external link for some reason: http://glastocam.external.bbc.co.uk/ Excellent! Much better than the beeb website one Looks like they are only showing in IE9. Probably not supposed to be, best not shout about it..... Edit: can see fence going up on left edge over the last few hours Yep it may be something not to mention..................Shhhhhhhhhhhhh Edit But Im not seeing it in IE either???

JBarbour Posted May 19, 2015 Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 What browser are you using? That could have something to do with it. Looks like they are still playing about with it. They have taken away some of the options and tools from earlier today already. Maybe when traffic increases features get reduce to save on bandwidth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonTom Posted May 19, 2015 Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 YAY! I like the clear picture of the TOR but agree we could do with West Holts in frame to! Shame they seem to be planning to turn off the time lapse options, it must be recording them so may as well make it avaliable! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stretlow Posted May 19, 2015 Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 (edited) Really good but I agree with an earlier comment, it's pointed too high, too much sky not enough green imo. Edited May 19, 2015 by Stretlow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonTom Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 Poorer picture at night mind! Needs some sort of low light filter I think The old cam had a better faint image of the Pyramid etc. (Though this might be better when all the festival lights are turned on I guess) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
