I'm not happy with composition, but the orange streak was interesting - we also only stayed out until 2:20am - just couldn't bring myself to stay for the peak at 3-4am with it being a work night. Does it get particularly impressive?

Got a chance to try out my 2x TC on the moon @ 400mm total

Moon shot is good!
Personally I prefer some land in my meteor shots, a nice foreground with the backdrop of the stars and meteors. Not always the easiest to find though!

Cheers, yes if I did landscapes more I'd like to think I'd know some 'goto' places

Well done on actually catching one though! I know how much of a pain it is. I went out last year and in 2 hours only got 3 shots with the meteors in.

After an hour we realised we needed to wipe the lens periodically due to condensation :) doh
