As you can see one element tip and it's on the tower, I think this avoids being 
off topic.

My project to compile a less than $100 tower cam is on the tower and 
operational.
Still have to adjust focus a bit which will require a few trips up the tower 
with a 
handheld to get it right.
Fixed focus, fixed iris lens. I did this on the cheap.
The housing is not heat/cold controlled so camera may shut down in extremes.
These were hamfest and eBay acquisitions.


you can view just the cams at http://24.14.55.211:8080/
or my whole website at http://mywebpages.comcast.net/w9ol/WX/HH.htm

The cam is aimed at Sears Tower, about 7 miles distant.
A little to hot and hazy to see this morning.
