The weather only partially cooperated in my attempt to capture a Perseid meteor. I setup the intervelometer on my Nikon around midnight (Friday night) and let it take ~1,000 exposures of 20 seconds (Rokinon 14mm lens set at F2.8, 3200 ISO).
I was able to capture a few meteors. The one shown here is earlier and you can see it was partially cloudy. You can see Cassiopeia just above the clouds to the left.

Great shot, Roger. The clouds give a real felling of action!
