This star is also double of the 5th class. By directing the eye to another part 
of the field, a star of the 15th or 20th magnitude may be perceived almost directly 
preceding. No measures of it however can be obtained with this instrument ; yet 
the night is favourable, and the observations are made on the meridian.

Epoch 1825.22. 
The position in 1783 was 57 0 3' nf, differing only 3 0 4 6 e 
from the present angle. There is an apparent increase of 
distance to the amount of + 3 ". 73 since that epoch ; but this 
is very precarious. (H)
