Worldwide i-CAN Network

The above figure shows the earth's position at noon in Japan time. The i-CAN cameras are located in the areas that are in the midnight at this position. When you put the cursor on any of the site names and click on it, you can go to the page to show the night sky of the selected site. (You can also go to the page by clicking the site name in the below table.) You will be allowed to operate the camera, if operation is not occupied. Please enjoy the live night sky in various parts of the world.

IMPORTANT! The i-CAN cameras are not in operation during the daytime of the sites to protect the camera from the sunlight. The reference for the time difference between Japan and i-CAN sites is given below. However, you should check the nighttime of the selected site on Current Sky of the i-CAN sites in advance, because the night becomes shorter in summer (and longer in winter).
