So in short if you haven’t spilt Sirius easily you won’t split Procyon.
Wavy and Bojan; its amazing just how many components Procyon has ..just go to Stelle doppie website and check .SOME are many minutes from the primary and faint.

No luck as cloudy weather not helping in Sydney, will try next few days..I should be able to do it with 130mm of FPL 53 Triplet .

LET'S see..I'm determined and armed with Takahashi Orthos!
