Sirius split at last

Following Sabs report I thought I would try to observe Sirius B.
Using my 12" at x260 with Sirius quite high I found that a steady periods it was quite easy to split.The 10 arc sec separation must help.
I am quite surprised at this split due to very light polluted skies.
I have tried a few times over the years with no success until now.
