Sirius A
Sirius A - the brightest star in Earth's night sky. It's 8.6 light years away and is between 200 and 300 million years old. Sirius A is about twice as massive as the Sun. The white dwarf star Sirius B is very hard to capture due to the glare from Sirius A and I don't think it's visible in this shot.
Taken the last time we had some halfway decent weather (Jan 26th 2017). Single 10 second shot at 400 ISO. Taken with Canon 700D on Skywatcher 150 PDS with EQ5 mount. Processed in Photoshop.
