I've been trying different filters with Sky Tools and finally decided upon a good set of criteria for challenging doubles. I think many of these will still be splittable through a small refractor, but probably a 6", or greater, aperture would be best for the tighter ones.
The lists are here.
Filter Criteria:
Separation is ≥ 1" and ≤ 3"
Minimum brightness for the primary is mag 10
Visibility is filtered for urban light pollution levels
