Saturn and Porrima - a double treat?

Hi all, in spite of the unsteady seeing and patches of haze I enjoyed the double treat of Saturn and Porrima (gamma Virginia) in the same telescopic field of view. Porrima in itself is a real treat as a bright matching pair, close double? It split cleanly in the 14" but I couldn't split it with my 80mm refractor.

Are any viewers having success in splitting Porrima with smaller apertures?
