Announces new Astronomical Society. Invites WO to become associate.
HO was elected associate of Astronomical Society. Prize for 1821 relates to Saturn's satellites.
Honored on being elected Foreign Member of the Astronomical Society of London. Finds that the comet he observed in January had already been seen by J. N. Nicollet and J. L. Pons. Saw the remarkable appearance on the dark part of the moon noticed by Henry Kater. Thinks Kater's theory is wrong. Will soon be bringing out a paper on the moon's volcanoes.
Discusses comet observations, together with variations from different observers. HO offers some historical fragments about the planet Venus, and about the Lilienthal telescope.
Comments on the observations JH has made with his 20-foot telescope, especially nebulae. HO provides some of his own observational data of Comet Encke.
About JH's work in reducing the observations of many nebulae. WO also speaks about JH's aunt Caroline.
