This page displays live camera images captured from multiple vantage points around RavenCrest Observatory, situated in the high-altitude terrain of northern New Mexico. The fixed-position cameras update frequently to provide real-time environmental context, including changing light conditions, cloud cover, wildlife presence, and smoke observation.
Each image refreshes automatically every few seconds. These views assist with visual monitoring of the surrounding mountains and skies, especially during high wind, fire risk, or other changing environmental conditions.
Recent time-lapse footage shows accelerated sequences of changing weather, light transitions, and sky visibility over several hours. These videos are compiled automatically based on image captures from observatory cameras. They offer insight into patterns not easily visible in real-time monitoring.
The PTZ (Pan-Tilt-Zoom) camera can be controlled via a web interface to manually scan ridge lines, mountain passes, and wildlife corridors. Ideal for fire spotting or environmental monitoring, this tool enables public or research-oriented scanning of the region in real time.
