Hi Joe yes it split it, easily seen at 450X along with some of the wider components (there are 8 in the system). Seeing was quite a lot better than I expected.

Its considerably harder than Sirius as the magnitude difference is greater AND the separation is half that of Sirius.

So in short if you haven’t spilt Sirius easily you won’t split Procyon.
