Hmm ... I am far too far south be be able to separate Zeta Herculis. A 1.3” separation with a delta magnitude of 2.5 is definitely achievable at higher elevations with my 140mm refractor but I will have to pass on this one.

According to stelledoppie its separation is about 1.25 " currently ; so tough!!.
Will try it again in an etx125 , 4" ed ? , in next few days..weather permitting ; should be a good test in that 115 ed!!
Can of course do it in 254mm SCT and c8 .
