Any live web-based telescopes out there?

Hi, rather than setting up a telescope I was wondering what web sites might
offer me a 'live feed' of an object that I wish to look at, in real-time as
it happens?

Thanks,

Gill

There are a few robotic telescopes around. Of these I know that the
Bradford Robotic Telescope in Tenerif is up an running.
It doesn't offer a live feed, but once registered you can submit jobs and
the scope will process the job when it gets to the top of the queue.
(Depending on the Job it might take a couple of days).

You could set one up for yourself on the balcony, deck, or out in the yard
using a GoTo scope, wireless networking, and a StellaCam.

I think that's a dream of many of us who live in colder winter climates, and
where summer is an exercise in bug repellent techniques.

Are you a teacher? If so I can hook you up with a telescope in
Australia or Chile.

Not exactly of the sky, but here's a collection of observatory webcams.

Can I ask why you're interested in a "live feed" rather than the usual
taking an image and downloading it? There is a telescope I know of that's
being considered for this and I'm interested in opinions of having a
video-type "live" view rather than taking images and downloading them to
view and process (e.g., RGB).
