Leonid Meteor Showers This Weekend

I managed to see a few around 9pm - amazing.
 
Well just in after 5 hours freezing my arse off, actually quite normal for me it's my type of shooting but have to say thoroughly feed up I've got a couple of what will make rather nice star trails, but not seen a single meteor :bang: :annoyed: also had very bad lens fog issues on one of the two cameras which is odd since both were within 18 inches of each other :shrug:

Glad it wasn't just me who didn't see any then! Aren't they due to peak again on Tuesday evening? I don't think it's forecast to be clear here though.

I'm not sure on close inspection though I did get a single very faint one, will process it later I think I'll keep it as a star trail :)
 
Seen a few last night, didn't realise there was a shower on. Lovely clear skies & Jupiter shining brightly and high in the sky.
 
Work got in the way, as usual. Caught them last year, think I got a shot or two with meteors but they look naff to me.
 
Anyone got any pictures they wish to upload?

I got this photo if you look at the top of the little Beacon on this hill you can see the only meteor that I captured as it smashes into the roof of the beacon ;) :naughty:

Looks great to me, was out at the pub until gone 3 this morning so totally forgot about this (and wasn't in any fit state when I got in!)

Tonight its cloudy so no chance.....
 
These are from last year and, frankly, I was/am naff at nighttime sky shots, but hey ho.

My best shot from last night. I am still relatively new to star photography, so any constructive comments welcome :)
 
Saw one coming home from a job last night after midnight, but wasn't aware it was part of a shower.

Still going on tonight?
