AB A continuous monitoring of meteorsand fireballs appeared all over Spain is being madecurrently from 25 stations operated in the frameworkof the Spanish Meteor and Fireball Network (SPMN)[1-4]. This observational challenge involves the re-cording over a very large surface area of about500,000 km2. In order to achive this goal, state-of-the-art CCD and video cameras are operated by membersand collaborators of the SPMN. Only few stations areoperated by amateur astronomers that have demon-strated its capacity to keep a continuous work andsometimes capable to find their own fundings to set upthe stations. One nice example is the Folgueroles videostation operated by the Agrupació Astronómicad’Osona (AAO) that is monitoring the night sky formeteor and fireball events since 2009. Ours is only oneof the seven stations currently operational in Catalonia,but one of the most productive thanks to the humaneffort provided by AAO members. The other Catalanstations of the SPMN network are operated by the In-stitute of Space Sciences (CSIC-IEEC), and a researchgroup of the UPC Electrical Engineering Departament.
