Egg of Vision: four webcameras
The Egg of Vision consists simply of four low-cost Logitech webcameras mounted in an egg-shaped ball on top of the Instrument Module. Its purpose is to provide some visual feedback on conditions at Dome F, and to test the suitability of the webcameras for future deployment.
The following images were taken on 3 March 2011.
