These are pale, ill defined stars, bearing neither illumination nor magnifying 

 power : till now I have only seen it as a single star : finding the measures difficult 

 with 179, 1 tried 105; but although the stars were then distinctly separated, the 

 instant sufficient light was admitted to render the micrometer wires perceptible, 

 both stars became invisible. The measures (perhaps little better than cautious 

 estimations) were gotten with the ordinary power of 179. The night is particu- 

 larly favourable. 



I have tried to re-measure this double star several times ; but although the wea- 

 ther has occasionally been very fine, I have not succeeded in seeing it double.
