LAST night, May 3, I observed Brorsen's comet pass nearly centrally over the star DM, + 61°, No. 873. In the principal focus of the telescope were two straight bars, 43'' (seconds of arc) wide intersecting in the centre of the field. The bars are at right angles to one another, and were inclined 45° to the hour circle. With this arrangement it was easy, by moving the telescope gently about the polar axis (which is well adjusted), to determine the conjunctions in R.A. and in declination, while angles of position coinciding with the bars, and distances in parts of the breadth of a bar, could be estimated with considerable accuracy. In this manner I made the following observations of the position of the comet with reference to the star:-
