Details:
Finally, after year of trials, I've succeded in observing the elusive Sirius B.
This year the distance from Sirius A, ~10 mag brighter, has increased up to 10", and it will go on up to 2023.
I needed to use my full power of instruments, fine tuned to give the maximum. Seeing was not very good because of roofs and low altitude.
A little bit of lucky thanks to the position angle, a little outside the diffraction spikes.
