Welcome to the Desert Fireball Network's and Global Fireball Observatory public wiki. This wiki contains documentation for the the DFN's fireball observatories and data processing procedures for collaborators and team members. The main GFO website is on https://gfo.rocks, Australian DFN website can be found at https://dfn.gfo.rocks and the DFN outreach portal is http://fireballsinthesky.com.au/.

Please contribute where you can by uploading information, designs and files that will help others with installation, maintenance and operation. By documenting your problems and solutions here, you can help other collaborators get up and running faster. We need your help to get cameras off shelves and under the night sky looking for space rocks!
