Meteor list

This page contains a list of fireballs observed by my amateur sky surveillance cameras. The observatory is located near San Román de los Montes, Toledo, Spain. Darker sky conditions are obtained looking north, west and near the zenith. South and East horizons have much higher light pollution. The observatory currently has 3 low-cost sky-surveillance cameras, based on CCTV security hardware. Cameras 01 and 02 are equipped with an IMX290 sensor and a f1.4 objective with 2.1 mm focal length (approximate field of view of 130 degree). They are pointing West and North, respectively. Camera 04, pointing to the zenith, is equipped with an IMX291 sensor and a fisheye/all-sky f2.2 1 mm objective, providing an approximate field of view of 220 degree.

Composition of fireballs observed by the camera with fisheye lens

The list is in reverse chronological order. A short description of the fields can be found under the table.
