First Attempts - M42 & Sirius

Hi,
Heres my 1st attempts at Astrophotography using Nexstar 6se and Canon 500d taken last night 28/12.
M42 is a 10sec exposure.
Sirius a 13 sec exp though i am not sure what the blue cloudy area is below the star..?

I realise my Alt-Az mount is limited when taking photos (wish i'd done a bit more reading before the purchase) as you will see with the trails.

cheers
Paul
