The small star is blue, ^d bears scarcely any illumination : the observations of 

 distance very suspicious. Several stars in the field. 



Passy ; July 10, 1825 ; Seven-feet Equatorial. 



8th and 10th magnitudes. 



Distance = 3i".442 | 5 Obs. | Diff. = o".84i. Very steady. 



Measures excessively difficult ; and I have so little confidence in them, that should 

 they favour one set already taken, more than the other, they should not be employed 

 to the exclusion of either. The small star is light blue, and becomes invisible 

 under a very feeble illumination.
