Telescopium Herschelii,
formed by the Abbé Hell in 1781, in honor of Sir William Herschel, was first published by Bode in 1800. It lay between the Lynx and Gemini and appears on Burritt’s Atlas; but since his day has passed away from the maps and catalogues.
The star π of Gemini marks its former location, the western end having been among the ψ stars of Auriga, not far from the latter’s β. [3]
