11 Perseid Meteors

I made this image from 10 photos. I adjusted each frame, aligning the stars then cutting out each meteor to keep the radiant in the same place. (the radiant is the point in the sky where the meteors appear to come from, it moves with the stars throughout the night because of Earths rotation) One of the shots had 2 meteors, so there are 11 meteors in total. I shot this on the night of the 10th, into the early morning. The peak is coming in the next few days. I'm hoping for clear skies, though tonight (the 11th) isn't looking too promising.
