Looking for Leonids

A cold, November, moonlit morning. I took my Canon A20 and a tripod into the garden on the offchance of capturing a Leonid meteor trail. The camera only supports two-second exposures so I didn't really expect any results. The first photo shows star trails and is a composite of 99 shots taken from 03:49 to 04:20. The bright trail is Jupiter - the trails have been annotated in the second photo. The third photo is a Leonid trail caught during one of the two-second exposures! The remaining shots are looking through branches at the hazy winter moon.
