Observed by twilight with 4x3, when 15 minutes east of the meridian. Measures 
Observed with 41 3 ; but the measures are very difficult, because the distant blue 
star C does not bear so high a magnifying power ; indeed it is so very indistinct, 
that it is seen only with great attention.

Position = 8° 1' nf | 7 Obs. J Diff. = x° 8'. Remarkably steady. 
Observed when 10 minutes west of the meridian with 413 ; the measures are dif- 
ficult, because the star C is extremely indistinct with this power. 1 think the 
measures very good. 
Observed when 10 minutes west of the meridian with 327, with which the discs 
of the two stars A and B seemed in contact : variable refraction prevented me 
using a higher power : the stars were at times well defined.
