Yes I can split this in my new 4" refractor at 140x

Harder is to get both Saturn and Porrima in the same field AND split the double. At 99x both are in the field of a wide view eyepiece but Porrima is only a "figure8" and not clearly split.

This is one event that must be recorded in your observing log!
