Perseids(?) 2014

Here's a composite of three exposures that contained meteors in a late attempt to view and capture some Perseids. The shots were taken three days after the shower's maximum as this was the first day in a long while with even remotely clear skies. Still, viewing conditions were not very good with lots of light polution bouncing off clouds to the East (right hand side) and a rising Moon. As a result, I had to push the brightness of the meteor trails to make them stand out from the background. Oddly enough, at least two of the meteors also don't seem to originate in Perseus, with only the one on the left pointing largely in the right direction.
