Allsky camera image lags behind dct-allsky version #27

I suspect I'm really linking to the one that gets FTP'ed by mistake, and I need to instead link to the one with the latest timestamp.

One possible (easy) fix would be to move this from a link to dct-allsky to a local copy that I rehost, which is refreshed periodically by the webcam service. It's not a webcam, but it's a camera, whose images go to the web, so it's not that big of a stretch. And doing it in there would give me space to work the logic needed to find the latest file rather than trying to shove that into some javascript abomination.

Actual fix for this is tied up in issue #25 since I'm re-implementing some old prototype work for the webcams. I think I have a fix in place as of NightShift@f7d2c83 but it's as yet untested.

Potential fix in place in f1c16a9963b9e2d81e6cfb0a48679788716156ff.

It took a lot of work to get here, but issue #25 is pretty much complete at this point. Some more notes over there.

Seems to work, so I'm going to be bold and close this already. I watched it for a little while and the updates were frequent.
