List of constellations

The list does not correspond neatly with what follows. It treats 15 out of 18 northern constellations listed (perhaps Draco, Delaton[?] and Delphinus are omitted) in addition to some that are not announced here. Of the nine southern constellations listed, on the other hand, only Pisces is described, but others are added unannounced.
