iota and kappa (Blue Mountains)

I viewed ι (iota) and κ (kappa) Boötis again this evening.

I'm struggling a bit with the alignment of the finder scope and accuracy of the mount-software.

The software is off by approx. a half-degree. The 4" finder scope was out a bit too. I've fixed the finder. I'm not sure what to do about the software. Other than manually compensate.

κ is definitely white and bright-white at 217x. At 391x, I think I see some colour on the secondary star.
