Here are three from last night. I ended up using the Sigma @ 10mm, f/4, 30", @ ISO 800 and cropped down closer to the meteor. These sure seemed a lot brighter last night but I'm not surprised shooting at f/4. Anybody planning on trying again tonight?

Very nice Scott ! Yeah that f/4 is a hold back when shooting meteor showers . The higher the ISO the better tho with anything above that .
