I have a camera pointing due south in Massachusetts and I didn't record it -- I think it was too far west from my position.
This was my meteor stack for that night: http://server.istrastream.com/rms/US001N/stack/1678618383.jpg http://server.istrastream.com/rms/US001N/stack/1678618383.jp... Yes, some of these tracks are planes, and there are a bunch of planes (see http://server.istrastream.com/rms/US001N/captured_stack/1678618383.jpg http://server.istrastream.com/rms/US001N/captured_stack/1678... for the unfiltered set!)
Total cost is certainly under $150 for the camera, housing etc. The bigger challenge is finding a good place to install the camera that has a good view of the sky.
