abstract = {A continuous monitoring of meteors
and fireballs appeared all over Spain is being made
currently from 25 stations operated in the framework
of the Spanish Meteor and Fireball Network (SPMN)
[1-4]. This observational challenge involves the re-
cording over a very large surface area of about
500,000 km
2
. In order to achive this goal, state-of-the-
art CCD and video cameras are operated by members
and collaborators of the SPMN. Only few stations are
operated by amateur astronomers that have demon-
strated its capacity to keep a continuous work and
sometimes capable to find their own fundings to set up
the stations. One nice exampl
e is the Folgueroles video
station operated by the Agrupació Astronómica
d’Osona (AAO) that is monitoring the night sky for
meteor and fireball events since 2009. Ours is only one
of the seven stations curren
tly operational in Catalonia,
but one of the most productive thanks to the human
effort provided by AAO memb
ers. The other Catalan
stations of the SPMN network are operated by the In-
stitute of Space Sciences (CSIC-IEEC), and a research
group of the UPC Electrical Engineering Departament.},
