Description

I couldn't do any imaging tonight due to the weather. I took the time to look back over some of my older data folders. I noticed a folder labeled Sirius. I remember planning to image something that was not quite high enough in the sky yet. So I got the idea that it might be cool to image Sirius while waiting for whatever I intended on imaging to move higher in the sky. I don't remember processing an image of Sirius and I couldn't find one in my image folders. So tonight I used the data acquired on 3-14-16 to process an image. Much to my surprise I kind of like the image and decided to share it on Astrobin. It is nothing spectacular. Just a simple image of one of my favorite stars. However I think it is interesting and it's simplicity appeals to me. With all of that said please enjoy my image of Sirius.
