Details:
Taken between midnight to 4AM, my 30 sec exposures at iso 2500 managed to capture about 3 dozen Perseid and 1 Aquariids (noted in top left hand). The Aquariids was traveling slow at 1st magnitude. Based on this, I estimate the brighter Perseid meteors are between 0 and -2 magnitude (nice transition from green to red as it entered the atmosphere). Most left smoke trains of a few seconds.
This composite was from 15 30-sec frames. Used Nikon d7000, Tokina 11-16mm used at f/2.8 and set at 16mm.
