Interesting, since there do not appear to be those that reflect the
DESCRIPTIONS of this star here.

So - either someone is *stretching the truth* about the colors

or no one has yet found a way to photograph Sirius in all its beauty and
multi-strands of color............

AS NO PHOTOS I HAVE SEEN YET REFLECT the descriptions posted.

For one thing, the "twinkling" effect occurs over time, so you'd need
a movie, rather than a still photo, to capture the effect. For
another, the atmospheric conditions that produce the most spectacular
scintillations are exactly those that will make for a blurry,
distorted image that no-one's likely to want to show off on the
Internet. A picture may be worth a thousand words, but neither can
replace first-hand experience.
