We present WIYN★/Hydra spectra of 34 red giant candidate members of NGC 188, which, together with WOCS† and Gaia data yield 23 single members, 6 binary members, 4 single nonmembers, and 1 binary nonmember. We report [Fe/H] for 29 members and derive [Fe/H]NGC188 = +0.064 ± 0.018 dex (σμ) (sky spectra yield A(Fe)⊙ = 7.520 ± 0.015 dex (σμ)). We discuss effects on the derived parameters of varying Yale-Yonsei isochrones to fit the turnoff. We take advantage of the coolest, lowest-gravity giants…
