Tried my had until the sky got a bit overcast.  Not very active when I was 
shooting at around 10:45.  I hear it was suppose to be peak between midnight 
and 2AM.  I looked out about 12:30 and it was cloudy so I stayed in bed.

This was my best shot:

If you use your imagination you can see the meteor above the roof about half 
way up the sky.  Maybe I'll try again tonight.  I only saw one while setting 
up.  I exposed about 20 frames at 30 seconds and two frames caught one. 
Also caught a plane that I thought was a meteor until I looked and saw the 
light was intermittent.  Darn.  It looked pretty good.
