So here's what you need...
1. You have to aim to the NE. All the meteors come out of one basic area and that is to the NE.
2. There is a short window to capture it unfortunately because the moon is 3/4 full and rises at 11pm. Once the moon rises it will wash out 50% of the stars, so will you could still shoot, 11:30 may be the longest you could shoot.
3. Set you camera for 30 sec shutter speed, the Long Exposure Noise Reduction turn it Off.
4. Make sure to take 1 shot with the lens cap on for the Black Frame reduction when processing.
5. When processing, basically you will take all of the images that do contain a meteor streak and put them in layers over your basic foreground shot. Then you will use a layer mask and with a small brush you will paint in each meteor streak.
