This webcam is mounted near the top of the 150-Foot Solar Telescope at Mount Wilson. The webcam is directional with a 260 degree range and is usually pointed at something interesting. (The posted coordinates are for the view of the webcam when this waymark was created - 12/29/05.)
Views from this webcam can be spectacular (when the sun is out on a clear day or snow has fallen) or mundane (when the mountain is fogged in or it's smoggy).
I used to use this webcam to check the weather in the San Gabriel Mountains before going up to hike or geocache. The webcam page has a weather readout from the observatory's weather station.
