Imaging Sirius B

Dear All
Has anyone succeeded in imaging sirius B?
I took a 10sec exposure last night as a trial using my 40D and the cropped result is below. It was taken with the moon up and some high cloud so the conditions were pretty poor. There is a star to the NE but it is too far away to be the pup. The cropped image below is 12.8 x 9.2 arcmin in size.
I have seen a pic taken by one of the members of our club of the pup. He was using slow film on a widefield astrograph with a long exposure.
Any suggestions how to do it?
