Thanks, Ken and bojan,
Looking forward to the new pictures. We're getting some much needed rain in North Carolina, so no chance for observing for the next week.
Sirius will soon be behind the trees in my observing site, but I hope to get a couple of more chances this spring. I'm going to try adjusting my webcam settings so as not to overexpose each frame and collect 3-4 minute .avi files in another attempt to capture the Pup. A separate exposure, during which I turn off the drive briefly defines West. If that doesn't produce results, next season I'll be looking into a better camera and maybe try a hexagonal mask.
Regards,
Thad
