After many tries,on that night I tried,at different magnifications.Finally at 510x I could see the Sirius B a very faint star in the Sirius flames.The Sirius should keep out of the filed of view. Otherwise it is too brilliant. The Sirius B was seen thorough 15 minutes. PA 90-95 degres.Very-very difficult double.The sky must be very clean and the seeing excellent.And a good telescope also needed!
