The current issue of US Sky & Telescope (this is the third one in a row I have received now, but that is another story) has an article on Le Verrier and the observation of Sirius B. They have some pictures of Sirius and Rigel as a comparison, also a picture of the hex mask. Hopefully this article will be repeated when the next Aussie issue comes out, it is a very interesting article and not totally "US" centric either!
