Crazy! Nice shooting (stars )...one of the prerequisites for getting shots like these are clear skies and no light pollution...we unfortunately have neither.

I set-up and took 300 shots Sunday night. Not a single one had a meteor. I think I might have been set-up in the wrong direction. I read that for my location it would be approximately Azimuth 60 deg. and Altitude 36 deg. I messed something up.

Lol. I hear ya. Mine was a stupid mistake.
Did you see meteors in your fov? If so what were your exposure settings?

iso 800, 15 seconds is too low as the meteors are very brief and not as bright as planes.
you are better off exposing properly. If you don't like the noise, you can overlay the meteors with a mask onto a your 'less noise' background.
I did the same thing.... lol
Was a great meteor shower, the best I have ever seen.

Wife, Son and I went out into the woods to watch as well. I don't have my tripod (moving from Korea to Alabama, haven't got all my stuff yet) so I had to improvise. I didn't get any streaks, but I still got some cool shots.

You all probably know about this site....I going to utilize it one of these nights and head to rural northwest Oklahoma for a looksee and try my hand at some Sky shots...
Anyways, here's the site for finding dark skies... http://cleardarksky.com/csk/index.html
