Perseids "over" the Milkyway

The PERSEIDS 2024 fill the sky at this time of year.
To record the largest number of meteors, the basic rule is to photograph in the direction of the radiant of this meteor shower located near the constellation of Perseus.
However, meteors appear all over the sky and tonight the challenge was to try to photograph some meteors in the Milky Way region, which is exactly in the opposite direction of the radiant.
To achieve this, 2 cameras were placed, one in the radiant direction and the other - this one - in the direction of the Milky Way.
These records were made at early hour when the radiant is high in the sky and many of the meteors pass through the zenith and enter the atmosphere in the opposite direction of the radiant.
What a night...
Camera SONY A7III , Lens Laowa 15mm F2
F2,8 , 15" , ISO4000 , 660 Shots for sky and foreground
The shots with meteors were stacked and blended with the image of the foreground and milkyway
