[AZ-Observing] Re: I split Sirius tonight

With all the take about Sirius B I had to give a try tonight after my 
photometry runs. It was fairly easy to find with my 12" LX200 GPS at 
400X. I was surprised it was not closer to Sirius A. I had to use my 
fine electric focus to get a precise focus, but then Sirius B popped 
out. It would come and go, but was very obvious.

I tried some blue filters, but they did not help.
