The photo is excellent, but could these possibly be satellites? At least a noticeable portion of them. A common radiant point isn't discernible.

Thanks)
I don’t think so, because I shot during the peak and while reviewing the frames, I made sure the trail wasn’t across two frames (if a streak appears on one frame and continues onto the next—it’s most likely a satellite (there were a lot of those…)
+ I’m still not very experienced in shooting meteor showers (2 photos), so in the final image, meteors might turn into lines without a flash, but that’s more due to processing issues
+ I shot on a fixed tripod for 3 hours, and during that time the radiant shifts quite a bit
Overall—I agree that the radiant isn’t as clear as, for example, in a wide-field photo, so you could estimate which tracks might be satellites and remove them just out of curiosity, but what if it was actually a meteor… too little experience)

Thank you for the detailed answer! So, not satellites then :) That's a decent number of meteors you managed to capture!
