The measures are of such extreme difficulty, that I consider their accuracy open to 

 suspicion. The small star is seen but with the utmost attention.

The small star decidedly pale blue, and bears but the most feeble illumination : 

 the ob€ervations are so excessively difficult, that the results are somewhat ques-
