Question: Has anyone ever managed to match Dawes Limit with their
instrument?! Or is that a pie in the sky goal never ever to be
attained?

Yes, there are a number of nearly equal doubles which I have been able to
resolve at around the Dawes limit separation. However, because doubles are
rarely equal or of the correct brightness range (and of course, seeing
variations), the Dawes limit figure isn't always achieved (or even always
applicable). Clear skies to you.
