A little ramble through 19th century astronomy - Saturn's moon Hyperion in 1875

Nature February 24^th 1876

The Saturnian Satellite Hyperion

Observations of this faint object made with the 26 inch refractor of the U S Naval Observatory on forty nights between 1875 June 16^th and November 25, appear in No. 2076 of the Astron Nach.

It is stated that the observations were generally made with difficulty. Pro Asaph  Hall acknowledges his obligations to Mr Marth for his ephemerides of the satellites of Saturn, by which he has endeavoured  to facilitate identification of these objects, and which could only have been prepared at an expenditure of much tome and trouble.
