Video astronomy (aka - Camera Assisted Astronomy, aka electronically-assisted astronomy or "EAA" [1]) is a branch of astronomy for near real-time observing of relatively faint astronomical objects using very sensitive CCD or CMOS cameras.
Images are recorded on many types of media and imaging devices including single-lens reflex cameras, 35 mm film, 120 film, digital single-lens reflex cameras, simple amateur-level, and professional-level commercially manufactured astronomical CCD and CMOS cameras, video cameras, and even off-the-shelf webcams used for Lucky imaging.

CAMS (the Cameras for All-Sky Meteor Surveillance project) is a NASA-sponsored international project that tracks and triangulates meteors during night-time video surveillance in order to map and monitor meteor showers. Data processing is housed at the Carl Sagan Center of the SETI Institute [1] in California, USA.
