1850, Sept. 14. 3! by 50”, rather F dash of light ; a conspicuous * nf the middle 
outside edge. 
1861, Nov. 2. Enpp sff, gbM, p end is, I think, fan-shaped (sky milky). (II. 
obs.) 
Pos. Dist.

[5238] F,S,iR, vgbM 314:3 60:0 or 3°1 p, 420 n. 
About 30° f and 4’ south of 543 is a F neb. with a * in Pos. 121°-3, Dist. 
60". [This is a Nova d’Arrest =5241, 36°8 f, 3'22"'s of 543). 
1872, Dec. 31. F;smbM; about 10" diam. Has an 11} m. * 300°-6, Dist. 1011. 
Also a 15™ * Pos. 122°-0, Dist. 37-5. This star is possibly variable. 
1873, Sept. 28. F;vS;R; gbM. Hasan 11m. * 298°-0, Dist. 101"-7 and a 
14 m. * Pos. 121°-5, Dist. 48"-8. Another 11 m. * follows 37°-4 and 161'°& 
to the north. 
1876, Jan. 13. Not vF, pL,1E about pf. Moon rising. * 11-12 mag. Pos. 
171°-5 (2), Dist. 318"-4 (2). (IV. obs.) 
1856, Noy. 29. h. 223 is B, pL, vbM, R? It seems to have some F neby. 
about it. 224 is v F, pL, vibM. 
1862, Dec. 13. p one is L and has a vB Nucl; f one is E, and I strongly 
suspect dark spaces on each side of centre. Sky hazy. 
1864, Jan. 2. Saw only one, pB, vgbM. I believe it is r, it looks very like a 
dist. Cl. [544]. 
1876, Oct. 22. 544 is vB, L,i R, mbM (not well seen). Pos. 300°-7 (2), Dist. 
159-6 (2). 546 isv F, vL,iR, or perhaps| Ens? No stars near it. 
1877, Dec. 10. 544 has a* 10m. Pos. 345°-5 (3). 546 is v F, dif, not bM, 
very irreg. outline, branches susp., especially sp, perhaps also np. (VI. obs.) 
1872, Oct. 31. Double in position 159°-0, distance of nuclei=40'"4 ; both are 
R ; psbM but the np is slightly larger than the other. Position of a 12 m. 
* from the brighter of the nebule—286°-4, dist.=139'"3. (I. obs.) 
1850, Nov. 2. At times I thought I saw st in it. Oval or rather egg-shaped. 
1850, Noy. 7. Stars in it. 
1850, Dec. 7. S * ins extremity, E npsf, 50” by 15”. 
1855, Oct. 16. Oval, no Nuel., light pretty equable, major axis npsf, clearly r. 
T can at moments see some of its stars. B * ats edge. 
1861, Nov. 8. pB, E, p end seemed more sharply defined than f end. The * f 
I think is involved. (V. obs.) 
1866, Nov. 9. E, 3 st p, dist. of nearest = 330-0, * f, Dist. 158". (II. obs.) 
1872, Oct. 13. Very loose Cl., st. 9-13-14 mag. 
1876, Nov. 20. Coarse Cl., a few st 9 mag., the rest F. Very dense fog. (II. 
obs.) 
1851, Nov. 24. Brightest part near p edge; Ennfssp; D * n, to which neb. 
does not reach. (II. obs.) 
1850, Sept. 14. 5 neb. seen, perhaps more (very bad night).

Another neb. about 12’ sf. [From these measures we find : oS 
Bfa174, 29" n, therefore a=231, 8—233, and the neb. 12’
