Mark,
double star work does happen to be one of my primary interests. Actually I've studied double stars and resolution for several years. Never have I seen any instrument, let alone a binocular, that can perform such a feat. Yes, I've read other claims of such similar feats. But, years of observations and a knowledge of what others have done perhaps has left me with a healthy skepticism. What I find intersting here, is a nonchalant attitude regarding a world class observation without a second thought. So you'll pardon me if I question your observation, but at best from what I've seen, perhaps even 10x binoculars with the finest resolution can do no more than show this particular pair as clearly elongated. I have noticed it elongated in an 8, but have never seen it split in any 10. It is however easily split in a 12.
