a small and faint asterism between Cassiopeia and Camelopardalis, was formed by Pierre Charles Le Monnier, under the title Renne, as a memento p378 of his stay in Lapland when engaged in geodetic work in 1736. The Germans know it as Rennthier, and Bode so inserted it in Die Gestirne.
It has seldom been figured, and now is never mentioned.
Images with borders lead to more information.
The thicker the border, the more information. (Details here.) |
