Description

Sirius A and B - Newtonian 16" f/4.8 with ASI 224 camera

The current separation is approximately 10 "and they are easily observed with instruments below 8 inch aperture. The maximum separation between the two will be 11" by 2019, when they will again approach. In the Northern Hemisphere, Sirius is in a very bad position in the sky, but for us in the Southern Hemisphere, his position practically in zenith makes it an excellent object to photograph and admire.
