Description

My original plan for tonight was: Use the perfect clear night to make a lot of deep-sky acquision. Well, it is cold as hell and really stormy, so no chance. To get at least something, I got out on the balcony for 5 minutes, freezing to death, while realizing an idea I had for several weeks.

Sirius, when standing very low above the horizon, flickers in all colors. By moving around the camera for a several second exposure, it is easy to capture those colors. I have seen it once somehwere and some guy won an international astro prize this year for a similar capture. So I wanted to try it too, just for fun!
