Depends a lot on the stars and the atmosphere. Factors include the width of the distance between the stars (which can vary over time), the brightness, the difference in brightness between the 2 (eg although Sirius A and B are quite well separated, the glare of A make B very hard to pick up). Th stillness of the atmosphere and elevation also make a huge difference.
