  Horologium - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Horologium (Latin for clock) is one of the lesser southern constellations (declination around -60 degrees).
Originally named Horologium Oscillitorium by Abbé Nicolas Louis de Lacaille, the constellation name has since been shortened to be less cumbersome.
Horologium Oscillitorium was to honour the inventor of the pendulum clock, Christian Huygens.

 Canberra Astronomical Society - Southern Cross - December 1999
Horologium was added by Lacaille in 1752 and is situated to the south of Eridanus, virtually opposite to Fornax on the other side of Eridanus.
Horologium has two, the quite easy NGC 1261 (03 12.3 -55 13) and the impossibly faint AM-1 (03 55.0 -49 36).
This is the most prominent of a group of IC galaxies in this region of Horologium and I saw it as a fairly prominent NW-SE ellipse with a star on the northwestern end.

That means setting up a 30 foot green granite obelisk on the south side of McKenzie Plaza, removing the current pavers and replacing them with a combination of tiles, stonework and metal that will mark the hours and the seasons.
As most calendars until this time had been based on combinations of lunar cycles, combinations which did not accommodate easily the solar and seasonal cycle, this reform was a major innovation.
It was erected in Rome in 10 BC (we know this from the dedicatory inscription that survives) between the Tiber and the present Via del Corso.

 LHS 1565 / GJ 1061
This star is located only about 11.9 light-years (ly) from our Sun, Sol, in the northeastern corner (03:35:57-44:30.4:D~, ICRS 2000.0) of Constellation Horologium, the Pendulum Clock -- southwest of Alpha and Delta Horologii.
The star was probably discovered by Willem Jacob Luyten (1899-1994), who found the proper motions of over 520,000 stars despite the loss of sight in one eye since 1925 by building an automated photographic plate scanner and measuring machine.
Constellation Horologium, the Pendulum Clock, is one of those obscure constellations in the Southern Hemisphere invented in the mid-1880s by the Abbé [Abbot] Nicholas Louis de La Caille (1713-1762), who had the great honor of naming 15 of the 88 constellations by becoming the first astronomer to systematically observe the entire night sky.

The Horologium Augusti is, of course, shown on the famous model of ancient Rome in the Museo Nazionale della Civiltà Romana (Rome EUR).

The Horologium planet is probably a gas giant, about 720 times as massive as Earth, and follows a very Earthlike orbit around the sunlike star iota Horologii.
The first part of the number string beneath the big word on each sign is a distance; iota Horologii is 56 LY (light years) from Earth, and HD 177830 is 192 LY away.
