Good observation Joe - I will pay that one. So many reports of Sirius B I count as "spurious" - especially those North American reports on CN where the elevation is low.

If you cannot easily pick up the companion of nearby Adhara with a mag of around 100X, then you will have no chance of Sirius B.

I have only seen it a couple of times with my masked off 18", and magnification of 292X
