A minute or two to the north of this star, and following it a few seconds of 
time, will be found a double star of the 5th or 6th class ; and about the same 
declination as this last-named star, by sweeping a few minutes in right ascension, 
a double star of the 4th class (8th or 10th magnitudes) will be seen in the field.

This star has undergone no material change in position or 
distance since Sir W. Herschel’s observations in 1783, which 
made it 30° 12' np, and 6 or 7" by estimation of diameters. (H.)
