Agreed. Really not much good for just checking the sky. But I'd still like to get involved in meteor research as detailed here: http://science.nasa.gov/science-news/science-at-nasa/2011/01mar_meteornetwor... I checked and it looks like that program still east of the Mississippi but I emailed them expressing interest should they decide to go west.

You can already get great pictures online at the NWS websites. You can see how the clouds have moved over the last few hours and project what they are going to do for the next few hours.
Knowing what it's like right now from a camera won't help because the weather conditions change much faster than it takes to drive out there.
