for ascertaining the distances of clusters of stars, &c. 449 
“1810, .10 feet telescope. With 71 it is small and 
ee cometic." 
“ 1784, 1785, 20 feet Newtonian. Easily resolvable ; 
“ some of the stars are visible/' 
" 1810, 20 feet front view. It is a globular cluster." 
“ 1799, 1810, large 10 feet. Its diameter with 171 is 
“ 1' 48'' ; with 220 it is 2' o'.” 
By the observation of the 20 feet Newtonian telescope, the 
profundity of this cluster must be of the 734th order. 
Observations of the 77 th of the connoissance . 
“ 1783, 7 feet telescope. An ill defined star, surrounded 
“ by nebulosity." 
“ 1801, 1805, 1809, 1810, 10 feet telescope. It has 
“ almost the appearance of a large stellar nebula/' 
“ 1783, 1785, 1786, 20 feet telescope. Very bright; an 
“ irregular extended nucleus with milky chevelure, 3 or 4 
“ minutes long, near 3 minutes broad." 
“ 1801, 1805, 1807, large 10 feet telescope. A kind of 
“ much magnified stellar cluster ; it contains some bright 
“ stars in the centre. With 171 its diameter is 1' 17"; with 
“ 220 it is i' 36". " 
From the observations of the large 10 feet telescope, which 
has a gaging power of 75.82, we may conclude that the pro- 
fundity of- the nearest part of this object is at least of the 
910th order. 
Observations of the jgth of the connoissance. 
“ 1783, 7 feet telescope. With 57 nebulous ; with 86 a 
“ strong suspicion of its being stars."
