Anyone got any tips for imaging tonight's peak Perseid action with a small refractor?

thanks

Well I sat in the garden for 5 hours last night. Atmospheric conditions were not perfect for imaging so I packed up and on the way back to the house I saw one! Crikey it was huge. Probably the most amazing thing I've ever seen. Truly fantastic.

On a separate note, PM me if anyone wants 187 x 30 second exposures of some cloud. Sheesh.
