A webcam has recently been installed up on top of the Ossipee Mountains, up on an unnamed peak. It faces WSW (towards Lebanon, NH); in the morning, when the sun is behind you, it looks spectacular. In the evenings, with the sun in your eyes, the close up trees are difficult to make out clearly, but you can see, for instance, the sun reflecting off Squam Lake. See attached morning/evening photos
Apologize for the focus, it’s not easy to tune, running up and down a ladder to check out the changes on a laptop, which really isn’t that clear. The mountain range in the foreground is Red Hill; it’s top is about 800 feet below this cam. There is a tree in the foreground ‘marking’ the saddle of the Red Hill range; the fire tower is to the right, on top of that knoll, and only visible at certain times. In the evening, with the sun in front, you can see light reflecting off Squam, right behind that tree in the saddle. Just to the left and top of this ‘saddle tree’, in the very distance is Mt Cardigan.
It will be interesting to see what winters are really like up there. I have only visited the site during service calls, and in reasonably good weather (for safety’s sake). There is what appears like a rectangle, just above and to the right of where the fire tower should be, I believe that is a reflection of the aperture. Now does anyone have any tricks (other than what the manual says) to focus it quickly, my legs are still tired
The cam downloads during daylight hours, and is available at:
