The measures are so excessively difficult, that I have but little confidence in the 
results. 
North preceding, in the field with this, is a faint double star of the 4th or 5 th 
class ; but it is not measurable with this instrument.

Measures of such difficulty, that I consider them little else than approximations ; 
the small star will not bear the slightest illumination ; would be a proper object 
for Mr. Herschel’s 20-feet Reflector.
