The object in that post https://astronomy.stackexchange.com/q/53267/16685 is nowhere near Sirius

This question is perfectly valid. Sirius is the star in question here, neither of the other posts cover it.

@DekoRevinio Not sure who you're replying to, but it doesn't appear the question is about Sirius, only that the object in question (the image artifact) appears near it.
