Has anyone had any results with photographing meteor showers?

I have tried myself numerous times over the years, but with little or no success. I have been using a Cosina 4000S 35mm SLR camera. Usually, I have gone for ISO800 and 1600 film, because of their sensitivities. As yet, I have not had a distinct meteor catch with my exposures. It can be down to the luck of the draw I think Frank. While taking exposures, there have been meteors zipping across the field of view, they were not bright enough (most of them) to be really captured. Of the ones I have caught, they are not worth scanning/posting here.
