It didn’t take long to realize that pointing the webcam south would be a big mistake.  For starters, the best windows to use were set in some by a front porch — so the view was competing with a soffitt, plus the neighbors’ houses.  Dave pointed out to me that we weren’t showing much of the sky at all.

Around 1:30pm, the sun was plainly visible in the webcam view…and nothing else!  Huge glares!

So we have re-aimed the webcam towards the north, and that’s where it’ll stay for the time being.  I’d personally prefer it to be pointing south, especially in the summer, and maybe we’ll have our IP camera by then.
