II. 726 | 1855, Jan. 17. I think I can at times perceive a star near centre ; light some- 
what mottled. I susp. a comp" p the neb. and possibly connected with it by 
a curved arm, but the object is too F to be sure. 
1855, Feb. 9. Nothing decisive. I see as on a former night either a condensed 
part in sp edge or a comp". neb. ; main neb. has stellar point or Nucl. 
1856, Jan. 10. May bea R neb. with patches in it, or more probably (as before 
suspected), has a curved arm sp, but it is too F to determine. * near centre ? 
1857, Feb. 14. Certainly a * in centre or Nucl. —————___—__—__
