Thanks for the info Steve.
I use similar settings to you, but with different equipment.
I have a D7000 and last night used the Sigma 10-20mm @ 10mm for maximum coverage. I used ISO3200 and 30secs, but I was thinking that a lower exposure with higher sensitivity may yield brighter meteors.
It was pretty awesome up there, albeit bloody freezing, but I managed to capture a couple. This was is a single 30sec exposure, and there are some satellites in there too. I thought they were meteors at first, but they're in adjacent images.
Like you, I'm after a better lens. The Sigma is a bit slow at F4.
Cheers

Bob
