Observed with 327, a power just sufficient to separate distinctly the two stars 

 from each other ; but it is unfortunately rather a higher power than the stars 

 yftW bear, although they are very steady, are on the meridian, and the night is 

 favourable.

I attempted to observe this double star with 181, but could not succeed; the 

 measures were procured with 327, which is a power greater than the stars well 

 bear. The stars are unsteady, and the night is hazy.
