This page offers real time images captured by the high sensitivity cameras installed in the telescope and its surroundings: an all-sky camera that shows us the extraordinary quality of the sky of La Palma (“All-sky”), a camera installed in the secondary mirror cell of the telescope that captures 27x18 degree images from the area of the sky where the telescope is pointing ("Pointing"), a night vision camera in the dome of the telescope ("Dome"), and an outdoor camera ("Outdoor") that allows you to see the station during the day. Additionally meteorological parameters and at night the pointing direction of the telescope, the scientific instrument in use and basic information of the scientific program that is being executed are reported. Last night’s timelapses from the All-sky, Pointing and Dome cameras can be found in the following links:
