7th and 71 magnitudes. 



Distance = 8".477 | 5 Obs. | Diff. = i".394. Rather difficult. 



Stars neither well defined or steady. The dew on the object glass is intolerably 



troublesome. The water precipitated on the instrument is trickling from it, falls 



upon my face during the observations of high stars, and is extremely annoying. 



Thermometer stands at 28°.

Distance 9".oo7 (15 Obs.) ; Epoch 1825.02.
