Robotic Systems for Meteor Observing and Moon Impact Flashes Detection in Spain

Abstract

A robotic observatory has been setup in the south‐west of Spain with the aim to study meteoroids interacting with the Earth′s atmosphere and meteoroids impacting on the Moon′s surface. This is achieved by using an array of high‐sensitivity CCD video cameras and three automated Schmidt‐Cassegrain telescopes. We summarize here the main characteristics of this new facility.
