Augustin Royer
Augustin Royer was a French architect who lived in the time of Louis XIV.
In 1679 he published a star map; in addition to the 48 constellations of Ptolemy, and the additions of more recent astronomers such as Plancius, he added two constellations of his own, in honour of his patron, Louis XIV; Lilium and Sceptrum et Manus Iustitiae.
Neither of these constellations has survived in the modern system.
Royer is often named as the creator of the constellation Columba by splitting off part of the constellation Canis Major, and the constellation Crux with stars from Centaurus but these were in fact already formed in 1589 and in 1592 by Petrus Plancius.
