A meteor observing station

Authors
Abstract:
We present the first Greek meteor observing station. The system is comprised of three identical WATEC 902DM2S CCD video cameras that monitor 65% of the visible celestial hemisphere. The data collected are automatically recorded and analyzed by software to detect meteors and fireballs and they can be used for measuring the velocity, the trajectories of meteors and reconstruct the radiant point. The results can be announced to the relative network of meteor stations and make a statistical study of the meteor fluctuations. In addition, video observations can be enhanced by the parallel observations of the corresponding radio signal of the meteors.
