Another good test, and nearby, is Nu Scorp. Double double.
Like Johns states, it will either split or not. If not, then move on.
Yes good and well collimated optics are essential, but not so much aperture.
I did hear of a guy in Canada ( a Zeiss freak) splitting it with a Telementor (Zeiss 63mm scope) which is why I am keen to try the AS63/840 Zeiss.
One day...............
One last thought.
Look to try it just on twilight, when the light is just enough to allow you to find Antares, I have found then the seeing is sometimes better, and it "seems" easier.
