Observed when on the meridian. Stars tolerably well defined, but unsteady, 

 tried to use a higher power than 181, but could not do it advantageously.

A magnifying power of 181 is insufficient to separate distinctly these stars from 

 each other ; but under a higher power they become pale and ill defined.
