I see. Then why did you suggest to seek out photos from the internet if

you
knew that the quality could never do justice to the real thing?

Sorry; since you didn't mention the twinkling effect in your message
body, I didn't consider your request for images of Sirius in the
specific context of the subject line.

But you won't see "rainbows" because photo's don't capture the
scintillations. OK?
Satisfied now?



No. There are scintillation cameras. I'm sure someone, somewhere has been
experimenting with photographing sirius using such equipment. You just
haven't been informed of this, is all.

When you find a scintillation camera, I'll be interested. Really.



Google brought up 18,700 hits on scintillation camera -

yeah, but X-ray cameras are out of reach for most of us, and won't
give you the rainbow effect you want.

The more I read about this stuff, the more I am led to believe that
holographic photography might be the only way to really *capture* Sirius
properly. I wonder if it's been done.
