Nice report!!
I can't wait to get in a good session at a dark site.
Like Goober I was also looking at Sirius through the clouds, using them as a sort of filter. I noticed earlier on that the seeing was pretty good as I was able to split some of the doubles in Orion I previously struggled with. Although this may be a combination of my two Christmas presents (a laser collimator and a 24mm Panoptic (which I was barlowing)).
Sab, are you saying you are able to split Sirius? If so what Magnification do I need and what would it look like? Looking at it last night it looked a bit like Rigel but sideways. I think the 'second component' was just an internal reflection or possibly my collimation was off.
Cheers
