I think I had iota but I am not sure. What should I see if I was looking at
iota?

What kind of scope/finder/mount do you have? Do you have a simple star
chart? Can you find/see iota Cass naked eye? If so, it should be
straight-forward to center it in your 1x finder - assuming you have a 1x
finder (if you don't then get one). Iota Cass is the brightest star in its
immediate vicinity, and is obvously a double at low power.

Yes. I always draw a line from delta through epsilon, and continue on about
the same distance as from delta to epsilon.
