for ascertaining the distances of clusters of stars, &c. 437 
“ 1783, small 20 feet telescope. All resolved into 
“ stars/’ 
“ 1784, 20 feet telescope. The cluster contains a ridge of 
“ stars in the middle, running from south preceding to north 
“ following.” 
The 10 feet telescope having a power to show stars ex- 
ceeding that of the eye 28.67 times, gives the profundity of 
this cluster of the 344th ord r. 
Observations of the 5th of the connoissance. 
“ 1813, 7 feet finder. It is near a star of equal bright- 
“ ness ; the star is clear but the object is hazy.” 
“ 1783, 7 feet telescope. It consists of stars ; they are 
“ however so small that I can but just perceive some, and 
“ suspect others. 1810, the globular figure is visible.” 
“ 1783, 10 feet telescope. With 600, all resolved into 
“ stars.” 
“ 178 5, 1786, 20 feet telescope. A very compressed 
“ cluster of stars, 7 or 8 minutes in diameter ; the greatest 
“ compression about 2 or minutes.” 
«* 1 79 1 > 4 ° f eet telescope. With 370 the stars about the 
“ centre are extremely compressed.” 
The profundity of this cluster, by the observation of the 7 
feet telescope, is of the 243rd order. 
Observations of the Qth of the connoissance . 
“ 1783, 10 feet, telescope, power 250. I see several stars 
“ in it ; and have no doubt a higher power and more light will 
*« resolve it all into stars.”
