Satisfactory. 
By directing the eye to another part of the field, I can suspect the star C to be 
double ; if so, its small star is more minute than the small one of a. Lyrse ; is south 
preceding, and is rather nearer to C, than is B to A. Night remarkably fine ; stars 
very steady.

The small star is light blue, and bears only a very feeble illumination. Night

The night is very favourable for difficult observations ; but although the stars 
are very steady, yet the measures are so extremely difficult, that I fear they merit 
but little confidence. Sir W. Herschel having described it as a triple star, I 
applied a power of 413, but no third star could be even suspected.
