I was outside from 12:30-2:00 CST (was supposed to "peak" at 1:30am here) and saw a total of SIX. It took me until about 3:30am to thaw. No photos of meteorites, but practiced my late night/star photography. The "turn off dark frame subtraction" idea was wonderful. Lightroom removes the hot pixels when you import the image, so the dark frame is unnecessary. And I found that when I did a "bulb" exposure, it was almost always between 102 and 110 seconds, even though I wasn't timing it.
