Palomar Observatory Live CamerasThe following images are produced every few minutes by a camera in the Hale Telescope dome and another that monitors the sky as seen from Palomar. The latter was installed as a resource for observers. This page reloads every five minutes. Hale Telescope Webcam![]() Hale Telescope webcam. Please note that during the night it is almost always very dark inside the dome, so very little can be seen on the webcam. The best times to see the telescope are during the day and in twilight. (Palomar/Caltech) Palomar All-Sky Cam![]() Palomar all-sky webcam. The small circle indicates the position of the north celestial pole—near Polaris in Ursa Minor. The + sign indicates the zenith. The Hale Telescope, labeled P200, is to the NNW—in the top-right corner of the image. Hide cardinal directions (Palomar/Caltech) HPWREN High Point Cam![]() Current view of Palomar Observatory from High Point via one of the High Performance Wireless Research and Education Network (HPWREN) cameras.
