for ascertaining the distances of clusters of stars, &c. 441 
« is full 4' 30", and taking in the stars that probably belong 
“ to it, it is 6' 45".” 
By the observation of the 7 feet telescope, the profundity 
of this cluster is of the 243d order. 
Observations of the 19th of the connoissance. 
“ 1783, 10 feet telescope. With 250, I can see 5 or 6 
“ stars, and all the rest appears mottled like other objects of 
“ this kind, when not sufficiently magnified or illuminated.” 
“ 1784, 20 feet telescope. A cluster of very compressed 
“ stars, much accumulated in the middle ; 4 or 5 minutes in 
“ diameter/’ 
By the observation of the 10 feet telescope, the profundity 
of this cluster is of the 344th order. It is in the preceding 
branch of the milky way. 
Observations of the 22 d of the connoissance. 
“ 1783, 7 feet telescope. 460 has not light enough to show 
“ it; with 227, 1 see it very imperfectly.” 
“ 1801, 10 feet telescope. With 600 it is a cluster of stars.” 
“ 1783, small 20 feet telescope. With 350, all resolved 
“ into stars.” 
“ 1784, 20 feet telescope. An extensive cluster of stars.” 
“ 1810, large 10 feet telescope. The stars are condensed 
“ in the middle. The diameter is 8' o' # ; the greatest conden- 
** sation is about 4' o".” 
By the observation of the 10 feet telescope, the profundity 
of this cluster must be nearly of the 344th order. It is near 
the following branch of the milky way.
