How many people here have done it visually?
The reason I ask is, it is supposedly very hard to do. Conflicting reports on the internet, ranging from 'cant be done with a 6" scope' to 'Yep! did it easy with a 60mm!' From what I can gather, the only reason it's hard to split is because of the stark difference in brightness between the 2, therefore the brighter one throwing off rays & diffraction rings in the scope making the fainter companion hard to pick up ??
That would depend on the type of scope used then would'nt it? ie: no diffraction spikes in a refractor = easier to see than in a reflector (with a straight vane spider.)
