An illumination sufficient to render the micrometer wires distinct, obliterates 



both the stars.

 Measures of distance somewhat of a suspicious character. The stars will scarcely 



bear any illumination.

When the field of view is but very slightly illuminated, the stars cannot be seen 

 without the greatest attention.
