Description

In this table we present the coordinates all-sky cameras of The Fireball Recovery and Inter Planetary Observation Network (FRIPON) (Colas et al., 2020) installed over the Romanian territory with the use of the Meteorite Orbits Reconstruction by Optical Imaging (MOROI) network (Nedelcu et al. 2018). Those cameras were installed over the course of the year 2021.

The detection of meteors is made with the use of fish-eye lens with the focal length of 1.25 mm and the detector Sony ICX445.

Detections made by the FRIPON-MOROI cameras over the time period January 2021 - April 2022 are characterised in (Boaca et al. 2022) (https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.3847/1538-4357/ac8542 ).
