Loverly setup you have Skysurfer.

I wouldn't give up though, the diffraction rings have to be unbroken concentric, so very good seeing near the meridian, even if fleetingly is all you need, and higher power probably double what you've used to separate the PUP from the primary.
Your equipment should be ideal for this
Keep it going.
PS: Seeing is everything here; absolutely no speckling-it will mask the PUP.

Cheers bigjoe.
