You guys are most welcome. It was really no trouble, and took all of 15 minutes. The question is: Did it help?

You bet it helped. It is only a subtle difference, and it shows up mostly in the afternoon when the sunlight isn't the best on Whitney. But cleaning off the dirt improves all the pictures.
It needs to be done about every 6 months.

Hey Steve, can you post the address as to where the full size collection of these pix are? I want to grab some of them for my collection (I have been collecting web pix since 2009)
The body betrays and the weather conspires, hopefully, not on the same day.

They're here: http://stevec.smugmug.com/Other/Whitney-Webcam-picturesWith smugmug pictures, if you take the main part of the URL of any image, drop off the ending stuff with the big numbers, it takes you to the album where the pictures are located. Here's one from Sunday morning -- first one taken for the day, showing the moon slipping behind clouds over Whitney. (It's in the same album.)

Steve - looks like the Mt Williamson camera needs to be rebooted.

Yes, that Prius has been stuck there for several days.  I'll see what I can do. ...Ha! It will start in the morning. Thanks for the heads up. Unfortunately, the Whitney cam is off line currently.

Looks like our Whitney webcam computer died last night. The Lone Pine Film History Museum has Internet service, but I can't connect to the computer running the webcam. Looks like it's going to take at least one trip over to figure this one out.

Remember, the computer is inside/behind a little door inside the tower.  And now there is an office cabinet in front of that door! But the system has reliably rebooted after every power failure, which is every few months. There was no power outage last evening, so I am puzzled. ....I'll see if they can cut the power and restore it via the electrical panel, maybe at closing time.

Ha! I called about cutting the power, and they remembered that workers were messing around with wiring related to hooking up security cameras. Wires were unplugged, etc. etc. So while I was on the phone they tried plugging one of the wires back into the router. Turns out THAT was the problem. Back on line!  "Two" cool.

From 09/20/11: Whitney webcam working - check
Williamson webcam working - ?????
Steve, do you need to order another power supply for Williamson? The Williamson computer is down, now. I suspect it is the power supply. Dennis is checking it out. Edit: Well, at 12:20 PM today, the webcam magically came back online. Ok, not so magically. Dennis has an ace hardware person, who just happened to have a power supply on hand. That was it!

Damn, I was hoping it would go down just bad enough to need to be moved somewhere that damn billboard is not in the shot.
