I think I just caught the tail end of Lion at 1:28 ie
01:32:51
hadn't set up the capture program yet, so nothing to review
01:33:24
I will wait if someone is "on duty" in the basin, otherwise I will post it later with a question mark

So much steam it will be hard to see eruptions for a while.

Lots of things could be or have erupted. No new reports from the basin though, so no way to tell for sure.

Looks like a possible Oblong now, 0727 ie
07:28:25
I am not going to log it because too great an uncertainty.

I used to dutifully record all Little Cub times as well but I got the impression that no one except Steve really cared about it
07:47:42
ok, will post to GT then
07:48:14
We have several people who post both Little Cub and Split Cone. Not everybody, but enough that there is some interest in those lesser noticed geysers.
07:48:46

how does BB see stuff on the cam at 0130?
09:24:28
Static cam. When the moon is full or near full, you can see some features.
09:25:21
ill have to check that out. i cant see anything on there when the sun goes down
09:25:50
I can't either unless I happen to be up in the middle of the night.
09:25:55

The down basin static camera resets at midnight. If you look before midnight all you see is black.
09:31:14
Thank you 11. I didn't know that. would explain why all I see is dots!
09:33:47
I don't know if that steam is from Old Tardy or not. Another candidate would be Bulger/Bulger's Hole?
09:35:04
I wish I had a better sense of the location of those features on the cam.

just read the log: I don't understand "the cam resets at midnight" either
12:24:53
From my experience you can't see anything right after nightfall and right before dawn
12:25:30
But I have seen stuff before midnight, it just depends on the cloud cover and the time of moonrise
12:25:49
That was last year with the old static cam, of course. Can't say anything about the new one
12:26:33
And I always capture from the static at night because it is much easier to tell things apart if I can run back and forth between captures
12:27:16
Looked like Aurum at 1226, but not sure. Rain is causing internet problems.
12:27:56

I agree. There have been bumps on the seismo all day though, so hard to tell. I will leave it to the seismologists to tell us!
15:48:51
Steam from Giantess can be seen on the left hand side of the VEC webcam. Water can be seen on the UB cam.
15:50:39
I will pull back when OF erupts in a few minutes, but for the most part, I intend to leave the camera aimed at Giantess today. We will miss Grand, probably a few Daisy's, etc. They will erupt again tomorrow.

nothing beats the front row look we get for this!
