Whether
you are coming from Somerset or Georgetown, Pollock Pines or El
Dorado Hills, check the weather in Placerville before you come to
look through our telescopes at the Cameron Park Rotary Observatory.
Weather conditions are probably the biggest thing affecting the
operations at the observatory. If it is raining where you live (In
El Dorado and surrounding counties), the observatory in Placerville
will almost certainly be closed. With intermittent clouds and no
threat of rain, the Observatory will most likely be open but on
these kinds of evenings, the view of the sky will be obscured
occasionally by clouds.

Precise
weather information for those anticipating visiting the
Cameron Park Rotary Observatory is currently being designed.
There are several possible schemes under consideration. One
of them is the installation of an on-site weather station
capable of broadcasting real time weather information over
the Internet. To the left is an example of real-time weather
information from Lake Forest, California. |

Other
possibilities include links to real time weather charts and
images such as the ones shown to the left and below. |
