Every year from 10th to 14th of August Earth's orbital path intersects with a stream of dust particles, the Perseids, originating from comet 109P/Swift-Tuttle. Every year, the German Aerospace Center (DLR), Institute of Planetary Science and the Technical University of Berlin (TUB) organize meteor observing campaigns during the Perseids, involving master students and amateur astronomers [2], [3]. Similarly to previous years, we will carry out observations using the SPOSH (Smart Panoramic Optical Sensor Head) cameras (Fig. 1). The SPOSH camera has been developed by DLR and Jena- Optronik GmbH under an ESA/ESTEC contract [1]. The camera is designed to image faint transient phenomena on dark planetary hemispheres, and meteor observations of high radiometric and geometric quality have been demonstrated. The camera features a highly sensitive back-illuminated 1024 x 1024 CCD chip and a high dynamic range of 14 bits. A custom-made fish-eye lens offers a 120° x 120° field of view (~168° across the diagonal).
