Web cam updated

I updated the webcam for Harris Hill and it is a huge improvement!  It's a logitech Pro9000 and whatever they did to build intelligent optics into it, they did it right for my needs.  The old camera wasn't really intended for outdoor use and I'd put a piece of cardboard over it with a pinhole but the picture was always a bit blurry and washed out.

The new one is higher resolution and adjusts better for bright light conditions.  You can make out the cloud types, see which gliders are out on the runway and so forth.  It updates every 10 minutes, along with the weather station at this address: http://www.wunderground.com/webcams/GliderWx/1/show.html
