The small star is pale blue, and is rendered more distinct by slight illumination ; 

 yet the measures are so excessively difficult, that it is useless to attempt observing 

 it except under the most favourable circumstances, such as the present, when the 

 stars generally are remarkably brilliant, and when they pass through the field of the 

 telescope as steadily as possible. Observed 35 minutes east of the meridian.
