tokens: worth noting. Among them, there was a sporadic 10mag fireball, visible in the evening on 2005 October 28 or a similar event on November 30, with an orbit equivalent to the 00241 OUI October Ursae Minorids stream (Molau Rendtel 2009 ). Figure 1. Fireballs from the Southern Taurid shower registered on 2005 October 30 (left) and on 2005 October 31 (right) by the PFN05 Pozna station using the PAVO5 camera. Figure 2. Fireball of 15mag registered on 2005 November 4 at 20:19:42 ut with the Pegasus constellation in the background. Photograph taken by D. Dorosz in PFN09 abikw station (Praktica L2, Vivitar 28mm f /2.5, Konica VX200). Figure 3. Selection of fireballs registered during the peak of activity of the Taurids in 2015. 2.2 Observations in 2015 As in 2005, our research included solar longitudes ranging from 206 to 228. This time, the Moons phases were not as perfect as in 2005 with full Moon on October 27 and new Moon on November 11. From October 20 to 22, our stations did not provide any data because of heavy clouds. Between October 24 and November 4, good weather allowed the PFN to work at its fullest; the nights of November 57 were partially or completely cloudy but the nights of November 8 and 9 were clear in most of the country. Compared to 2005, the number of stations and the quality of our equipment increased significantly. We were able to gather data from 25 stations covering a period of time from October 20 to November 10. We used diverse observation equipment, the sets of the highest speed based on the Mintrons 12V6, which allowed us to observe meteors as faint as 34mag. For the first time, we used the digital DMK23GX236 megapixel camera and the Tamron 2.4-6mm f /1.2 lens. Such a set allows us to observe a field of 1283802 with a limiting magnitude of about 1 to 2 and a resolution of 19201200pixels with 25 frames per second. Table 2 summarizes a list of our stations active in 2015. Table 2. Basic data on the PFN stations that observed the Taurid shower maximum in 2015. In a period from 2015 October 20 to November 10, all PFN cameras registered 6970 meteors out of which we determined 719 orbits. They corresponded to different meteor showers and sporadic centres. Out of that number, 215 orbits belonged to the Southern Taurids and 39 to the Northern Taurids. Fig. 3 shows four bright Southern Taurids captured during 2015 maximum. The first phenomena of high brightness were observed on October 27 (similarly to 2005). Three bright fireballs were also seen on October 30. The night of October 31 brought two other incredibly bright phenomena. At 18:05 ut , a fireball from the Southern Taurid shower appeared over north-western Poland and its absolute magnitude amounted to 16mag. The fireball was visible across Central Europe and was registered by the PFNs network cameras, car cameras and people coincidentally photographing the close fly-by of the asteroid 2015 TB145 (see Olech etal. 2016 for a detailed description). The phenomenon lasted 5.6s
