摘要
This paper describes a double-station camera setup in the Canary Islands, called CILBO (Canary Island Long-Baseline Observatory). Image-intensified video cameras one camera on Tenerife and one on La Palma-monitor the same volume of the atmosphere. They are located in automated roll-off roofs. From the obtained data, the meteoroid trajectory can be computed. A second camera on Tenerife is equipped with an objective grating. For bright meteors (typically 0 mag or brighter), a spectrum is recorded which allows constraining the chemical composition of the meteor. The system is completely automated and sends the obtained data after every observation night to a central FTP server. It has been in operation for about 2 yr and the first scientific results have been produced.
