I don't know enough astronomy, but can the angle of any shadows visible via the webcam help narrow down the location?

Maybe some? But the circle today will be 160 miles wide or about the same width as Switzerland and Denmark. So I'm not sure how much shadows would help you pinpoint a specific location in an entire country worth of mountains.
