Camera (Station 1)

The Georgia Fireball Network, was created to "watch the skies" over Georgia. Any Georgia meteor watchers are invited to join in with the program. Currently the program consists of two cameras supplied by Sandia Labs. Steve E. Farmer Jr, Red Barn Observatory (Ty Ty, Georgia), and Matthew Gauthier, Deer Run Observatory (Buena Vista, Georgia) each have a camera installed on their properties. Each camera has a sky coverage of about a 600 mile diameter. Most of Georgia is watched by the cameras, as well as part of Alabama, and the northern part of Florida. The systems were installed and watching the skies in July of 2007, and will continue to monitor the skies indefinitely. The cameras are located approximately 80 miles apart from each other, and many "dual-detections" are anticipated. Hopefully, other meteor observers (visual, photographic, or video) will join the Georgia Fireball Network. If you are interested in joining in with the Georgia Fireball Network, please send a message to INFO at the bottom of this page.
