UKMON was set up in early 2012 with the aim of it becoming the first UK-wide network using CCTV cameras to capture meteor trails across the night sky.

Their objectives are to:

  • Establish a network of relatively cheap CCTV cameras to monitor continuously meteor activity over the UK;
  • Assist members with analysis of meteor data and publishing papers;
  • Enable members contribute to, and collaborate with, other networks across Europe using video data acquisition technology;
  • Bring together individuals who are already working independently;
  • Encourage involvement by individuals and organizations (including astronomy societies, schools and colleges);
  • Provide a platform for sharing knowledge and experience.
