Both Kappa and Iota Bootes are both in the same FOV through my skymaster 25x100s.
Kappa. 4.6 6.6, 13.4". A clear gap was visible between this pair at 25x. It would be interesting to know if any of you guys can split this pair with lower magnifications.
Iota. 4.9 7.5, 38.5". The challenge here is to find the 3rd member of the group which is faint with a mag of 12.6 at 85.9". LP and strong winds meant I couldnt spot it on this occasion.
