Description

Sirius, the Dog Star

Sirius is the brightest star (in fact, a star system) in the Earth's night sky.

It is also known colloquially as the "Dog Star", reflecting its prominence in its constellation, Canis Major.

Not too lucky with the weather conditions yesterday, could only catch 16 more or less usefull Widefield Images (a 60s) ... Quality was rather bad ( LP, clouds).

Nevertheless I tried to make something out of it... whatever
