AB The first observations of meteor activityin July from a radiant in the vicinity of Denebwere performed by Denning between 1885 and 1918[1]. This minor shower, that was called the omicron-Cygnids, was described in detail by Jenniskens [2],who determined an entry velocity for meteoroids ofabout 37 km/s and a radiant located at α=305º, δ=47º.In a latter paper by Olech et al [3], the activity periodof the omicron-Cygnids was determined to extendfrom around June 30 to July 31, with a clear maximumnear July 18 and an entry velocity of meteoroids ofabout 41 km/s. In any event, our knowledge about theomicron-Cygnids is poor. Thus, observations duringthe activity period of this shower are desirable in orderto obtain precise orbital information, but also to determinedifferent physico-chemical properties of meteoroidsin this stream. In particular, meteor spectroscopycan be very useful to obtain information about thechemical nature of these particles. In this context, wepresent here the analysis of an omicron Cygnid fireballrecorded in the framework of the SPanish MeteorNetwork (SPMN) in 2012
