この道は毛むくじゃらのマンコだらけ..
I drove up about 40 mins to get to a somewhat less well known place to take pictures... Turns out that place was pretty jam packed too!! The entire way up, all the turnouts were filled with people camping out looking at the meteor showers.
Anyways this is what I got... I couldn't get any of the meteors in the shot though, they zoomed by like crazy, and all happened when my camera wasn't shooting. It was a beautiful sight though, I counted over 15 within the hours of 1-2AM yesterday!
Haha the world looks like it's ending

This video is really cool (last minute of it is the 3d part) and this thread seemed appropriate.

I beg to differ sir. 
You just need to image appropriate objects for the focal lengths at your disposal.
These were captured by a member of my astronomy club. I'm about 80% certain they were acquired through a Canon 70-200/2.8. The first two at 100mm and the last one at 200mm.
The camera used was definitely not a DSLR though.

Here's the mount he has.
