Night remarkably fine; yet the small star is so extremely obscure, that the results 
may be a little erroneous.

The small star is light blue, and bears scarcely the least illumination ; the mea- 
sures must be regarded with suspicion.

The first set was gotten with a power of 92 ; the second with 157. The small 
star is light blue, and with 181, (the commonly used eye-piece,) it could scarcely be 
distinguished. Observed when on the meridian. Night very favourable.
