Hi Matt,

I reasonable seeing both my 8" Dobs comfortably split Antares using medium magnification numbers. 120-150X ish is OK, no need to exceed 200X. However, turn the mirror fans off and more often than not (particularly with the solid tube dob), the companion star merges into the primary "mush".

Cheers,
