John,

I have split Antares several times in a TAK FS-102. Also split it the other night pretty easily in Rocket Boy's TAK TOA-130. In the smaller Apertures like 4" and 5" your going to need around 150X to 200X and good seeing. The other important factor is to wait until it has good elevation. There is no point even wasting your time while its down low.
