Epsilon Bootes - Izar

[DarkerSky]

My effort at Epsilon Bootes with my 12" at x300. This is a sketch made a fews weeks ago in April. From my notes I described the primary as a large luminous mid-yellow colour. The secondary I saw as a much less luminous star with a subtle light blue colour.

I didn't realize there was such a big difference in magnitude between the two which explains why I've found this a struggle to split.

Thanks.

That's a great sketch !.

I was observing this double last night with my C5 - it's a beauty

Well that explains why I've not been able to split it myself yet! Must try harder! Lovely sketch though, got an idea of what to expect when I try to split it!
