Details:
A rare clear night and not too cold, -2C. Seeing was average. At my latitude, 45deg N, Sirius is low in southern sky, making detection of Sirius B difficult. ... I applied my technique developed over the years to try a detection of the little white dwarf. ... SC11 scope at f/30, ZWO120mm-s camera, and hexagonal mask. One frame out of the 857 in the AVI capture was better than all the others combined. The image posted is this single frame, no 37.
