Here's a little update about our participation within the Croatian Meteor Network. As you already know, one of the 15 cameras is located in Valpovo, at our club, on our building.

So that you wouldn't think we just sit around and do nothing, in the last couple of weeks we've begun processing captured frames. Here's a short description of the process.

    The camera we got from the Croatian Meteor Network has just been installed, on the east side of our headquarters. Sunday afternoon was a perfect opportunity to drill the wall and plug in the camera. Like Ivica said: "It began as usual, Anonymus style, without keys (taked cared of by Maki and Mile), without the screws, electricity, ideas or ladders, tools. But it all ended great, with traditional soft drinks and food, as a reward to our job well done!

Although still in early stages, the Croatian Meteor Network means business! Recently captured meteors from more locations simultaneously will enable the determination of their heights. The network is equiped with highy sensitive cameras located all around Croatia, for meteor observation. Cameras

Iako još u fazi testiranja, Hrvatska Meteorska Mreža (skraćeno HMM) bilježi odlične rezultate. Nedavno su snimljeni prvi meteori sa više lokacija istovremeno što će omogućiti određivanje njihove visine. HMM je mreža visoko osjetljivih kamera postavljenih po lokacijama u Hrvatskoj radi opažanja meteora. Kamere snimaju cijelu noć i automatski detektiraju sve pokretne objekte (meteore, avione, satelite...). Trenutno su u pogonu kamere u Puli, Šibeniku, Merenju, Rijeci, Višnjanu, Zagrebu, Bjelovaru i Osijeku, a nadamo se da će do ljeta proraditi i jedna u Valpovu. Projekt vode AD "Istra" iz Pule i Znanstveno edukacijski centar Višnjan, pod dirigentskom palicom Damira Šegona.
