Several things to mention:

If you expose for one hour unless you are under really dark skies you are going to have a very bad result.
As Phil mentioned a long exposure will wash away the faint meteors.
I had that problem during the Eta-Aquarids this year, meteros were seen visually and were very faint but couldn't record them well in 1 minute exposures (only 1 minute!).

I'd recommend you to use the lens wide open, shoot 30 second or 1 minute exposures and aim the lens to the radiant area of the sky.
