The comet growing faint, I did not follow it any farther. 
D li ring the whole time, it was invifibie to the naked eye, and 
without any tail. Its appearance was fo very fimilar to the 
nebula (N 3, in Messier’s Catalogue inferted in the Connoijjance 
des Temps for 1784, and fome other years) as fcarcely to be 
diftinguifhed from it when in the telefcope together ; though it 
certainly had a brighter fpot in the centre. 
The latter obfervations were not quite fo fatisfa&ory as the 
preceding ; the comet growing faint. Thofe of the nebula, 
Auguft 20. were alfo fomewhat doubtful ; the nebula not 
having the lucid point in the centre which the comet had ; and 
therefore not being fo eafy to obferve, efpeciallv in paffing the 
oblique wires.
