Observations of Nebule and Clusters of Stars.

p st 8 and 12 was well seen. The p boundary seemed to be rather abrupt. 
5th. n is very excentrically situated with regard to its fainter neby, There 
seems also to be some left handed spiral appendage on the p side.

* 12 is of 13:14m, 18 of J1m; 2 was e F but certainly seen with powers 
281 and 414; there is also a somewhat fainter pomt 30" or 40” nearer to 
N. Sky very clear. 
1875, Apr. 28. Viewed through and between clouds. Lord Rosse thought the 
Jront-view showed the knots and F parts better than he had seen it with the 
telescope in Newtonian mounting. 
1875, May 1. (Newton.) Sky not very good, still I think it beyond doubt 
that the front-view the other night was superior. 
1877, May 6. (Speculum newly polished). Nucl n is very excentric, great mass 
of neby north of it, and after looking at it for some time I saw consid. 
amorphous masses p it, while the space between n and the nearest convolution 
is entirely free from neby. The left handed spiral (v F) starts from the nf 
end of Nucl n.—The first convelution is v F, the second one was traced very 
near N ons side. A little p the line Nn the 2nd convol. is suddenly v F, 
but immediately afterwards it has a B knot. The turn of the 2nd convol. 
f the lne Nn [“the elbow” | is not square but nearly R.—At * 12 the 
first convol. becomes ps B; I am nearly sure that the southernmest convol. 
is a simple continuation of it; p N the Ist convol. runs for a short dist. 
nearly straight pf. It starts from the f side of N and becomes almost im- 
mediately v F.
