for ascertaining the distances of clusters of stars , &c. 443 
“ of the stars is very gradual towards the middle ; but with 
“ the four powers 71, 108, 171, and 220, some nebulosity 
<l remains. The stars of the cluster are the smallest points 
“ imaginable. The diameter is nearly 18 minutes/* 
The profundity of this cluster, by the observation of the 10 
feet telescope, must be of the 344th order. 
Observations of the of the connoissance. 
“ 1799, 7 feet finder. It is visible.** 
“ 1783, 1794, 7 feet telescope. A cluster of stars ; with 
“ 120, 1 think it is accompanied with mottled light, like stars 
“ at a distance.'* 
“ 1784, 1786, 20 feet telescope. A coarse cluster of large 
“ stars of different sizes.” 
By the observation of the 7 feet telescope, the profundity of 
this cluster does probably not exceed the 144th order. 
Observations of the 35th of the connoissance. 
“ 1794, It is visible to the naked eye as a very small 
cloudiness.” 
“ 1783, 1794, 1801, 1813, 7 feet telescope. It is a rich 
cluster of stars of various sizes.” 
“ 1806, 10 feet telescope. There is no central contraction 
“ to denote a globular form.” 
“ 1783, 1785, 20 feet telescope. A cluster of pretty com- 
“ pressed large stars.” 
The profundity of this cluster does probably not exceed 
the 144th order. It is in the milky way.
