Second Light Image - Two birds, One Scope

Hey guys, as the cheeky title says, second light image with the new scope, the Esprit 100. This one capturing both birds in the one shot with my unmodded Canon 6D.

The shot is made up of 58 x 5 minute exposures for almost 5 hours of total integration. I would have had almost 10 hours if not for the camera losing communication with the ASIair sometime during the night while I was dead to the world. Oh well. I may add more data to this one and reprocess it. I am not entirely happy with the stars, they don't seem as tight as in my first light image of M8, maybe my focus was off?

Higher res shot on my Flickr here.

Feedback always welcome and thanks for looking!
