Extremely 
difficult. 
The small star is blue, and bears scarcely any illumination : the observations of 
distance very suspicious. Several stars in the field. 
Passy ; July 10 , 1825 ; Seven-feet Equatorial. 
8th and 10th magnitudes. 
Distance = 3i".442 | 5 Obs. | Diff. = o".84i. Very steady. 
Measures excessively difficult ; and I have so little confidence in them, that should 
they favour one set already taken, more than the other, they should not be employed 
to the exclusion of either. The small star is light blue, and becomes invisible 
under a very feeble illumination. 
Mean Result.
