I have received several e-mails from folks asking about live cameras in Hawaii that can be viewed online. Since many of our regular readers are former Hawaii residents now living elsewhere, it is understandable since local live camera shots are a great way to keep in contact with Hawaii.
In this feature I'll take a look at the web cams and livecams which I have been able to verify as active. That does not, however, mean that they will remain active. If you know of others to add to this list, please let me know and I will add them. Please allow time for these pages to load. Some are rather slow. Some require Java. Finally, some only operate during daylight hours.

Canada France Hawaii Telescope Webcams
The CFH observatory hosts a world-class, 3.6 meter optical/infrared telescope. The observatory is located atop the summit of Mauna Kea, a 4200 meter, dormant volcano located on the island of Hawaii. The CFH Telescope became operational in 1979. The mission of CFHT is to provide for its user community a versatile and state-of-the-art astronomical observing facility which is well matched to the scientific goals of that community and which fully exploits the potential of the Mauna Kea site.
Current Video from UKIRT
The world's largest telescope dedicated solely to infrared astronomy, UKIRT is sited in Hawaii near the summit of Mauna Kea at an altitude of 4194m above sea level. It is owned by the United Kingdom Science and Technology Facilities Council and operated, along with the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (JCMT), by the staff of the Joint Astronomy Centre, which is located in Hilo. The operation and development of UKIRT are overseen by the UKIRT Board.
