Position = 6° 39' np I 5 Obs. j Diff. = 2 0 47' ? Extremely difficult. 
Distance = 23".74S [ 5 Obs. | Diff. = o".865 j Excessively difficult. 
Measures perhaps a little suspicious, although taken with great care. Stars are 
tolerably steady, but will scarcely bear the slightest illumination.

These results were procured under the most favourable circumstances ; the stars 
were on the meridian, and very steady; yet from the extreme faintness of the 
smaller star, some inaccuracy may be apprehended. 
Mean Result.

cannot be obtained.
