Yep... that's Sirius alright. The brightest star in the sky. The way I
understand it, Earth's atmosphere acts like a prism to break up the

light.

Other stars that do this:
Canopus (carina)
Rigel Kentarus (alpha centauri)
Arcturus (bootes)
Vega (lyra)
Capella (auriga)
Rigel (orion)

In all cases except Rigel these will be the CLEARLY brightest stars in

the
constellation, you can't miss 'em.

I checked out Sirius the other night and was floored. It is amazing how

much
the colors sparkle on this star. Bringing the scope out of focus created

an
amazing color show.
