Good one Rob. I have had no luck with my 63mm Zeiss refractor, YET, but I am sure I will do it one day. My 80mm splits it easy enough, IF the conditions are favourable. BUT I have also had trouble with the 10" when the seeing wasn't on my side.
A couple of tricks, not that you need them now.
Partial twilight helps evidently, as does a green blue filter, not that they have for me. Some use an OIII.
The best way to establish where the companion is, is via the direction the star(s) move (without tracking). The companion is "leading" the primary.
