It's also a bit easier to split during dusk rather than in a really dark
sky. At least, for smaller apertures.

Best regards,

Also, the air was not very steady.
I'd like to learn if anyone managed to split Antares, and with which
equipment ?

Hi:

I've never tried it in a refractor of this aperture, but it can be fairly
easy
in a 6 inch Newtonian at high magnification. _When the seeind is good_;
that's
the key.

Peace,
