The catch from last night: LaSilla SW spectrograph, QHY678M, 1000 lines/mm grating, spectral resolution approximately 0.3 nm/px...
The 2026 Perseids in the CEMENT network – over 81,000 meteors captured by our cameras during August, with a total of 6,185 Perseid trajectories...
Update to the CEMENT LIVE page – a small ML script filters out trash with an efficiency of roughly 70% – more meteors, less junk! :-) cementcz.eu/live/
Three months in the life of comet 220P/McNaught in images. Valasske Mezirici observatory, Newton 500/1930 mm, camera G4-16000 with GSENSE 4040 chip.
This year's Perseids are slowly approaching, watch the meteor activity on our "live" page! cementcz.eu/live/
Solstice weekend 🌞 — Jun 21 is the shortest night of the year up here. Short nights = less meteor-watching time, but it won't last. Activity climbs through July and erupts in August with Perseids🌌 #solstice #stargazing
Timelapse of the activity of the Eta Aquarid meteor shower over La Silla in Chile (telescope E152), nights from May 4 to May 10, 2026, wide-field FHD camera La Silla SW. youtu.be/aUnZJpf-iQY
This year's Quadrantids were very successful, considering the traditionally very bad weather in Europe - 567 multi-station orbits in the CEMeNt network
Year 2025 in the CEMeNt network over Central Europe and Chile - 309,771 single-station meteors and 55,587 multi-station orbits.
Nighttime movements over La Silla - meteors, dome E152, high clouds and the Moon. La Silla SW camera, 03/02/2026.
Quadrantids on the night of maximum (3/4. 1. 2025) by the CEMENT network cameras and also using the SMRST meteor radar.
It's December in Central Europe and so we need to head to the "mountains" above the inversion for the Geminids
After a long-term problem, all 7 cameras in Chile are operational again. Last night, a total of 957 meteors were recorded at the La Silla and El Sauce stations.
Bright fireball, 30.9.2025 06:58:11 UT, spectrographs La Silla SE and NE, plus captured fireball from El Sauce N station...
A total of 61,344 meteors and 11,773 orbits in August 2025 at CEMENT stations. There were 3,167 PERds, 723 SDAds and 359 CAPds orbits. The highest numbers in history since 2010!
