Making a 6mm Occulting Eyepiece

I modified a 6mm eyepiece and added a piece of aluminum across the focal stop of the eyepiece.

 


Sirius B Observation

With my 6mm Occulting Eyepiece, I found the Sirius Pup. This is the first time I've ever seen this elusiive star.


Procyon B Observation

With my success in seeing Sirius B, I tried my luck on Procyon B. I found it right where it was supposed to be. This is the first time I've ever tried to see this elusiive star.
