I made something to watch the 2024 eclipse remotely!

This is every public webcam in the path of totality, with a live-updating view of the umbra.

@jonty Montreal Peregrine falcons were yelling about it
@barnoid Oh I missed that one! So good.
@barnoid @jonty I watched that too. It was so angry and loud.
@jonty Marion, IL town square too!

@olasd @jonty

Whippoorwill Lake, also called Lake Saluki, in Marion:

@jonty more fun than the webcams causing a denial of service elsewhere, tbh
@jonty this is insanely cool, and the animation of the shadow moving along the path is great. Nice work. Shame about the clouds ☁️
@jonty I am ready now, thanks for the tool !! :D
@jonty Amazing work! Thank you. I just watched a bunch of cams on the shores of Lake Erie.
@jonty So I just saw on one of the livecams a guy with a big camera on a tripod, taking photos of the eclipse... with the flash on.
@jonty This was so nice, thank you!
@jonty oh man, thanks! watched a few and hit screen record! going to upload a nice clip!
@jonty https://youtu.be/ALAK0Y15w00?feature=shared i love how you could see the shadow move in and out here

@halcy @jonty This one was one of my favorites of those I watched. Very cool tool.
@jonty Watched a confused nesting bald eagle, 100/10
@jonty there's a bunch of cams along the New York State Thruway. Unsure if they're scrape-able.
@jonty this was super fun thank yoi
