Dubhe is a temperament in the 3.5.7.17 subgroup generated by a sharp ~17/15 (or equivalently a flat ~45/17). As a weak extension of BPS, it tempers out the sensamagic comma, 245/243, while splitting the BPS generator of ~9/7 in two (by tempering out 2025/2023) so that a stack of two generators represents 9/7, and a stack of four generators represents 5/3 in addition to 81/49, which generates MOS scales of 8L 1s and 9L 8s against the tritave. The "canonical" tuning for the generator is 3\26edt, representing the double Bohlen-Pierce scale, but a range of other tunings are valid, including 2\17edt and 5\43edt.

For technical data, see No-twos subgroup temperaments#Dubhe.
