Daren;
Assuming you haven't left yet, what camera settings do you recommend for the meteors?

Sorry, I missed you on this one....
For next time, I would use something like ISO 800, f/3.5 or the best you have and the exposure could be 15 seconds or longer/shorter depending on your best f stop and moonlight. The last time I did meteor photos I just set the camera to take pictures continuously all night and ended up with something like 1600 photos.
Really you should just take some test photos and find the best settings and then use that, that is how I do it.

Oh and BTW, while I did not take any photos this time of the meteor shower I did see many great meteors over the weekend from Rockhouse Valley. It was a great show on Thur/Fri/Sat and then Sunday night I did not see any but I was pretty beat and slept good for most of the night....
