No image displays when I click on the "LIVE! WeatherCam" Link

Just allow the ActiveX file to install automatically. For older operating systems such as Windows98, manually install the file from this link.
Original WebCam
Nothing happens when I click on the "Original WeatherCam" Link
JavaScript must be enabled for your browser to open up the Original WeatherCam window. It is highly recommended that you enable JavaScripting in your browser, but if don't care to, try this link. It should display the image, but will not automatically update the image.
The most likely cause is that it's night time, and it gets DARK here. The area around the Science Center is not artificially lit, and the camera lacks sensitivity to render an image at night.
Ockanickon's WeatherCam is situated inside the Science Center. Its view to the outside is through double paned glass at an oblique angle. This introduces some unavoidable distortion. Also digital image compression is employed to make the file size manageable for downloading.
e-Mail any additional questions to James Moyer, GEB-SC[at]bma2[dot]org and I will add them to this page. Thanks!
