I haven't done my final selection of the best few, and won't have the
time for a while, but here are my photos from last week.
For people who don't want to wade through galleries, here is one with
the track, the milkyway and a meteor:

Some of these have meteor trails, some are just nightscapes of the
racetrack.

Commments, critiques and helpful hints appreciated.

There is a lot to learn about photographing the track at night, such as
how much moon you want in the sky, how to stitch panoramas, which lenses
to use etc. On the K-1, every lens seems to show some vignetting, which
will screw up panorama stitches. Using the profile for the 15-30 will
correct that problem. Unfortunately, they don't seem to have a profile
for the rokinon 24/1.4 and I haven't figured one out, so my
longer/faster lens, which really needs to be stitched, is one that I
can't yet stitch with.
These photos were an experiment in trying to show students where to
look, how to look through where you want to be, to where you want to go:

I posted these links earlier, but just to keep everything together.
These are pretty much all my photos that (I think) have meteor trails in
them, selected only on whether I caught a meteor:

These don't actually show the track, I was just experimenting with the
astrotracer feature on my camera to photograph the milky way
