On another occasion last year, with the 9" Mak I am currently using, at Terry Hills during a North Syd. Astro Soc. meet, exact same time, sky and conditions, the 9" Mak was showing it clearly, but a C11 and 12" Meade not even hinting at it.
Again, to have any chance, it is a combination of seeing conditions and scope's optical quality.
Try the Encke Test.
If seeing conditions are excellent, and your aperture is 7", even 6", and larger, have a shot. You either see it or you don't. Your scope has the edge, or it doesn't.
