Asks TM to measure the position of some stars that are difficult for JH to observe.
Actinometer observations during the eclipse.
Hopes that TM can explain the errors in JH's star reductions. Saw Halley's Comet last night; comments that 'its tail was again fine and head very bright.'
In some places, Halley's Comet will be seen in or near its perihelion during the solar eclipse.
