I suspect that it may be better to keep Sirius in the center of the eyepiece and keep trying to get the focus just right at just the right moment when the seeing is perfect. And I'm sure the diffraction spikes could easily hide B. Opinions please...
useing starry night you can see where it is apperent to sirius so you can take it just out of the eyepiece
there was some threads on this subject awhile ago and people had mentioned this way
