There were about 50 people viewing the shower and no one had a camera, 
including me!  I just didn't think it would be that good!  When I got back 
home, I set the 120 camera pointed at the North star.  Suprisingly, I only 
captured one meteor trail in a corner of the frame.  Most of the spectacular 
tralis I saw earlier, were in the West and South, so perhaps that's why I 
didn't catch many, or it was too late.

Regards,  Pete
