CHAPTER V.
A HALF-HOUR WITH ANDROMEDA, CYGNUS, ETC.
Our last half-hour with the double stars, &c., must be a short one, as we have already nearly filled the space allotted to these objects.

The observations now to be made are supposed to take place during the fourth quarter of the year,--at ten o'clock on October 23rd; or at nine on November 7th; or at eight on November 22nd; or at seven on December 6th; or at hours intermediate to these on intermediate days.
We look first, as in former cases, for the Great Bear, now lying low down towards the north.

Towards the north-east, a few degrees easterly, are the twin-stars Castor and Pollux, in a vertical position, Castor uppermost.

Above these, a little towards the right, we see the brilliant Capella; and between Capella and the zenith is seen the festoon of Perseus.

Cassiopeia lies near the zenith, towards the north, and the Milky Way extends from the eastern horizon across the zenith to the western horizon.
