Distance 12^.893 (18 Obs.) ; Epoch 1824.90. 
The position and distance of 1783 are 89° 12' sp. (Jan. 31), 
and 14".82 (Aug. 21). A diminution of distance of 2" in so 
difficult a star is not very material ; but a change of 8° 6 f in 
the angle, accompanied by an alteration of the quadrant 
from sp to sf argues a sensible motion in one or both of 
these stars. (H.)

Distance about one minute and a half by estimation. 
The small star bears no illumination, and the position here given may be one or 
two degrees in error. 
The position in Nov. 1781 was stated at 13° 28' ; but no 
reliance can be placed on this measure, and the evidence of 
change is open to great suspicion ; indeed there may be some 
doubts as to the identity of the star, (H.)
