Uranography
Isaac Habrecht II made a celestial globe[1] and a couple of celestial planispheres.[2] He introduced some constellations that were created by a Dutch cartographer, Plancius, and he invented now the obsolete constellation Rhombus. It followed by a French cartographer Royer. Later, it was turned into le Reticule Romboide (now Reticulum) by a French astronomer, de Lacaille.
