Thanks everyone. Yep, common run-of-the-mill meteors are hard to capture. Fireballs are much easier, 'cept you don't get many opportunities! Starlight is captured for the duration of the exposure - the meteor for only a fraction of a second.
For interest, here are a couple of my Leonid meteor images from Egypt in 1999. The first (a single frame centred on Orion) has at least 12 meteor tracks, the second contains a fireball that lit up the ground (Sirius is the bright star). The best meteor display of my life, though Leonids 1998 was pretty good!
