Description

Good evening friends, I managed to photograph Sirius B with the Newton 6" on an evening with cloudy skies and mediocre seeing, WOW!!
Sirius B is the binary companion of Sirius and is 8200 times dimmer. Classified as a white dwarf, it has a mass equal to that of our Sun but with a smaller diameter than the Earth. This makes it a very difficult subject to observe and photograph. To achieve this, some tricks are used.
