My experience exactly, John. I used to split it fairly regularly with my 8" Newt. I never managed it in my 6" refractor. That surprised me, I thought the refractor would split it for breakfast! It'll be a good test for the LX90 when it gets higher up and I've got the scope properly collimated.
Excellent seeing, decent aperture TOGETHER WITH excellent optics are what you need.
