Discovery of a new Comet. 133 
Additional Observations on the Comet. By William Herschel, 
LL.D. F. R . S. 
November 8, 1795. 
o h io'. The comet is about 42' north of 22 Cygni, in a 
line continued from 21 (ij) through 22 nearly ; it is not quite 
come to the line. 
It is exactly in a line with 22 and a north following star 
T 34' from 22 towards 21. 
o h 31'. Distance of the comet from 19 Cygni, i° 10'. From 
22 Cygni, about 42'. From 25 Cygni, 2 0 io'. From 13 Cygni, 
exactly 3°. 
2 h 27'. The comet is 3 6' from 22 Cygni ; its motion has 
been very nearly in the line pointed out before. It will how- 
ever not pass over 22, but go by it towards 19 Cygni, having 
left the line pointed out, a little on the following side. 
November 9, 1795. 
2o h 45'. The comet is about 17 or 18' from 15 Cygni. 
2i h 59'. The comet is now centrally upon a small star 
north following 15 Cygni. It ^s a small telescopic star of 
about the 11th or 12th magnitude, and is double, very une- 
qual, the smallest of the two being much smaller than the 
largest. 
With a power of 287 I can see the smallest of the two stars 
perfectly well; this shews how little density there is in the 
comet, which is evidently nothing but what may be called a 
collection of vapours.
