I shot about 80 photos last night - 30 second exposures one right after the next and it takes the camera (Nikon D810) another 30 seconds to 'process' the image before I can shoot again. Only two of the shots had a meteor trail on them. The forecast was for up to 200 per hour which is 3.33 per minute so their forecast was off by a large amount. Here they are:
I believe that is Andromeda galaxy at the lower part of the image. Close to where it should be and it is actually very large in the sky, just faint. The Milky Way is to the left.
Pleiades to the right of the meteor trail.
Got the camera set up and will be trying again tonight but not holding my breath...
