Abstract

A remotely manageable optical observation system for recording transient luminous events (TLEs) in the upper atmosphere was installed in Baja, Hungary in 2014. This report describes hardware components and settings of the system, software solutions applied either for realtime event detection and remote control, and the strategy of actually making the observations. An overview on the number and type of TLEs observed up to 2020 is presented. During the 7 years of operation, 1655 TLEs were recorded, 92.7% of which were red sprites, 6.4% were sprite halos, and the set of captured events contained altogether only 3 ELVES. Most sprites were observed in June while most sprite halos were observed in September over the years covered in this report.
