Description

At 5th of March, Moon was shining therefore I made some videos of Mars and saw Sirius in the Sky. Seeing was surprisingly good close to the horizon. I took the chance and tried to capture Sirius B, the small companion of Sirius. I had to try a lot of settings till i could first see Sirius B slightly on the screen.
I made a video and after playing a while with contrast, Gamma etc. Sirius B can be glimpsed on the left side after processing. Position angle is about 90 deg. which means originally he should be on the right side!
Its not a great picture but i can see him. After making the video I tried to see him visually, but were not successful, even so I tried different magnifications.
