Speaking of Gamma Circini, there's another bright testing pair not that far away. Gamma Lupi is a brilliant bluish white pair mags 3.5 and 3.6 but just about 0.7" apart. Glare would be the major problem with this one.
From my notes made in June 1992: "Barely elongated by 170x, needed 300x and good seeing conditions to show the Airy disks almost in contact. A good test object." That was with a C8.
