Here's mine from this morning.

August 12, 2012 Perseid meteor shower, caught 3 next to the rising moon 3:30am - 5am. The long streak at bottom is actually an Iridium Satellite flare. You can see the 7 Sisters star cluster clearly here.

Canon T1i + 15-85 lens @ 15mm, ISO 800, f3.5, 20 sec exposures on tripod.

These were stacked together, sorry for the crooked horizon, I tried to get the moon across the middle of the sensor as it moved thru the sky......

Thats pretty much the same view I get from my garden. Its a shame I hadn't got the clear sky you had or we could have had the same pic. well done.
