Resumen

Since November 2008, a new robotic observatory is being setup by the University of Huelva within the environment of the Doñana Natural Park, in the south- west of Spain. Most of the systems in this astronomical observatory operate within the framework of the Spanish Meteor Network (SPMN), which is an interdisciplinary project dedicated to study meteoroids streams and the interaction of these particles of interplanetary matter with the Earth's atmosphere. For this we employ a system consisting of an array of high-sensitivity CCD video cameras for automatic meteor detection. Besides, an automated system for lunar impact flashes detection is being setup in collaboration with IAA-CSIC. This is based on three robotic telescopes that monitor the impact of meteoroids on the surface of the Moon. An important synergy is expected from the results recorded by both systems. Besides, climate conditions in this area provide us about 320 useful nights per year for astronomical observation, which makes this location ideal for this research project.
