We did this in the last Bootes program when the primary was the target, but again anyway, can't have too many measures to average. The big scope finally shows the primary as a yellow star, spectral type G0V, all my experience in smaller scopes always seem to make these two blue. Measured, 2.25 sec at 5.2 deg PA.
