Dusk Dusk 2004-06-13 2200
A indication of how the 2 cameras perform in low-light conditions. The telephoto camera (right) has a CMOS sensor, and is fitted with a lens from a 35mm camera that is fairly slow, and does not perform well at dawn and dusk. The excellent low-light performance of the Toucam (left) is evident.

Between April and October the Sun sometimes passes directly in front of the cameras. They don't seem to be damaged by this.
Trying out IR-pass filter Visible light image 2004-08-29 1734
In these photos the Toucam (left) has been fitted with a 50mm lens and an IR-pass filter, to see whether this arrangement reduces the obscuring effect of sea mist. It doesn't, but it produces some interesting false colours.

Cold, clear air and a sun low in the southern sky combine to allow an unusually clear view of the island.

It doesn't snow often in North Devon. The snow on Lundy only lasted for one one day, but lay for several days on Exmoor. Here's a Lundy Island video clip for November 2005.

The following graphs show air temperature data at the camera location for the last week, 2 months, and year. Data are only collected when the computer is switched on, so there are gaps.
