Observed when one hour west of the meridian, with a power of 413, which sepa- 

 rates the discs of the stars completely : they are most beautifully defined. The 

 measures of distance are a little difficult, because the instrument is thrown into 

 tremours by the wind : the sun scarcely below the horizon when the observations 

 were taken. No artificial illumination necessary.
