I have often seen a figure of .7" (arc seconds) quoted for Cassini's division. Of interest is the difference between resolving a point source and a line, as that is below the Dawe's limit for a 4", yet I have no trouble seeing the division in any of my 4" scopes. Encke's division has eluded me in anything under 10", in comparison.
Cheers,
