What's with zeta Bootes? It is on the SAC double star list as 1", pa307 and
4.5, 5 mag. and is one hard nut to crack. Is it doing the Porrima thing and
approaching periastron? Steve's notes say "just split at 300X". I tried 250
and 475 to no avail. Maybe elongated but only maybe. Next to that, epsilon
Bootes at 2.8" (1977) is a piece of cake in the 6" refractor. Seems like the
smaller telescope lacks enough resolution and the larger falls victim to
seeing, what to use, what to use?
