Hey Joe,
That is a creative attempt there, but not sure it totally works. A couple of things that jumped out at me.
1st. the palm trees seem blown out and too bright compared to the sky.
2nd. The Milky Way ends up being blue in most of this, instead of the white/brown color the core of the Milky Way should be.
3rd. The start stops of the time lapse, where you would stop and freeze it to show a streak of the meteor, and then start back up the timelapse, made this feel hurky jerky. If this is going to be a timelapse, then don't stop at the streaks, that's where it would be cool to actually see the meteor streak across the sky.

Oh well. Sometimes thing work, sometimes not. Palm trees were heavily blown out due to street lights and I did bring back a bit. However, I didn't think it would be critical for this kind of shoot. Milky Way color is what I get using white balance of 3781K throughout. I actually like the blue contrasted with yellow. I didn't plan on doing a time lapse so there are gaps in shooting and dead periods and lots of clouds. Therefore I combined images from the adjoining sequence that had the most visible meteor activity. I didn't stop the sequence on a meteor shot. A continuous time lapse would have been quite boring IMHO. Knew this would be different and now I'll be better prepared for next year. Definitely appreciate the feedback.
