I could almost swear I saw the white dwarf -the Pup-on Tuesday night.I called my son to come out and confirm and he saw it it too-
location our backyard. At least I wsnt hallucinating, though of course both us could have been simply mistaken. But it did appear as a very distinct and tiny companion next to the incredibly brilliant Sirius.
It faded in and out -but we had the webcam hooked up to the C8N and were watching it on the laptop screen-so magnification of around 200
kicking myself for not hitting record-It was dumb luck anyway. I wasn't really after double stars just trying to focus the webcam and picked Sirius as an easy target, and now possibly missed a one off opportunity
