I am only going to claim a half on this. There is a very tight pair and a very wide 3rd member. thye tight pair proved very challenging for me. At high power I thought that occasionally I could make it out with averted vision, but I am not sure of this. The 3" of  separation should be in range for me, maybe the faintness and seeing combined to make this a problem.
