Do you have a canon? do you have an intervelometer?

There's a couple ways to do it. Some people do a ton of long exposures, delete every frame without a meteor trail, stack them in photoshop, and then erase out holes and merge layers together to get a bunch of unmoving stars and a bunch of trails. I think that's what I would do.
