When two unequal ftars are both in the ecliptic, or, not 
being in the ecliptic, have equal latitudes, north or fouth, and 
the largeft ftar has moft longitude, the maximum of the appa- 
rent diftance will be when the fun’s longitude is 90° more 
than the ftars, or when obferved in the morning ; and the mi- 
nimum when the longitude of the fun is 90° lefs than that of 
the ftar, or when obferved in the evening. 
When the fmall ftar has moft longitude, the maximum and 
minimum, as well as the time of obfervation, will be the 
reverfe of the former. 
When the ftars differ in latitudes, this makes no alteration in 
the place of the maximum or minimum, nor in the time of 
obfervation ; that is to fay, it is immaterial whether the largeft 
ftar has the leaft or the moft latitude of the two ftars..
