Details:
These are some of the brightest Perseids I captured on 12 Aug 16 between 1:17AM and 4:12 AM from Cheyenne, Wyoming.
Many additional fainter meteors were recorded (over 100: www.flickr.com/photos/79387036@N07/26273784667/in/datepos...).
In 3 hours, the radiant point rotated and thus the fixed camera results in slight deviation from a single radiant point. This view is looking northeast. There was lots of green airglow duing the first hour of this stacked image.
18 frames were used in this stacked image. The brightest meteors were -2 to -4 magnitude.
Against my better judgement, I attempted to include many fainter Perseids during the 2016 meteor shower. It was very difficult to extract some meteors from the 111 frames used in this final image because of strong background green airglow. However, since I went to the effort to produce this, I thought I might as well upload it.

Faintest meteors are probably ~4th magnitude.
