Over 2 nights of cold and mostly cloudy weather I was able to capture
21 meteor photos. I was really impressed with how active this shower
was especially the peak night.

One of these exposures caught two meteors within the same shot (a 25
second time frame)

Pretty cool! I think they are brothers.
