682 OBSERVATIONS ON THE ZODIACAL LIGHT 



No. 341. 

 MOON ZODIACAL LIGHT. 



FEBRUARY 3d, 1855. 



Sun set 6/1. 57m. 



Lat. 33 1' S. : Lon. 71 41' W. 

 Observations at 8A. 23.n., 8/1. 27i., and 8/>. 29m. 



This evening, the sky being quite free from clouds and tolerably bright, 1 succeeded in getting a moon Zodiacal 

 Light, as in the chart. The proximity of the ecliptic to the horizon, however, makes the evening Zodiacal Light 

 now less striking than it was in lower latitudes. The upper edge of the moon's disc showed itself at 8" 25 ; but, 

 there being a haziness along the horizon, the Zodiacal Light gave boundaries for two minutes afterwards.
