A couple of months ago we started to work on an automatic meteor detection system to be installed in Castellammare di Stabia, Italy. A special camera is linked to a software for the automatic detection of video meteors. More details about the setup in a next post.
On the very first evening, our meteorcam recorded this nice -4 magnitude fireball. The fireball appeared over Castellammare di Stabia at 21:51 local time of 07 December 2008:
