Nova; 



Double; 10 and io|- magnitudes. 



Passy ; February 23, 1825 ; Seven-feet Equatorial.

Neither star bears sufficient illumination ; I rather suspect the accuracy of the 



distance.

 A double star of the 5th class is also in the field sp, but it is unmeasurable with 

 this instrument. Night fine. 



Mean Result.
