Very difficult. 
The small star is decidedly light blue ; scarcely visible without illumination, but 
rendered much more distinct by a moderate one. 
Mean Result. 
Position 22 0 35' nf; Distance 20". 590 ; Epoch 1824.87. 
This star appears subject to no change of position, as the 
angle of 1783 (22 0 33' nf) differs only 2' from the present. 
An excess of i". 6'4 in the present over the earlier measure 
of distance is not sufficient to authorize any positive con- 
clusion. (H.)
