Sky favorable, very bright and clear. Zodiacal Light, at 7", very brilliant. The effulgent Light within the 

 zigzag lines lasted till 7" 40 m : at 8", a little of it was left, but much dimmed. Looked for pulsations, but could 

 not see any. At 8" it was difficult to get the southern outline of the Stronger Light. Could not see any of 

 the gauze-like appearance dimming the stars, which was noticed last evening.
