This star is also double, of the 4th class, an extremely faint star preceding it, at 
about 70° south. No measures of it can be obtained. The dew is so intolerably 
troublesome, that I am obliged to discontinue the observations ; and I do it with 
the greatest reluctance, for the night is unusually fine.
