ABSTRACT

We are currently performing a monitoring of the night side of the Moon in order to identify flashes produced by the impact of meteoroids on the lunar surface. For this purpose, we employ several tele- scopes equipped with high-sensitivity CCD video cameras. Software development plays an important role in our project, and, as a result of this, our detection and analysis package has been improved. Some of the results obtained so far are presented here.
