However, for the years of interest (1560-1660) the *exact* surname matches I found with that tool seem to be mostly in Silesia and vicinity.
So even if "our" Georgius Barschius was Jakob's brother (a very wild guess, of course), he would probably be absent from that database, too.
The third question, in two parts, is (a) was JakobBartsch in Prague before becoming Kepler's assistant, and (b) was there any Georg* Bartsch born in Lauban at the right time.
The faintness of the constellation, and that of the nearby constellation Lynx, lead to the early Greeks considering this area of the sky to be empty, thus as a desert.

If one were asked to name all the four-legged creatures found in the sky, the Ram and the Bull would come readily to mind, and the Bear and Dog (two of each actually: major and minor).
Created in 1614 by the German astronomer JakobBartsch.
It was created to fill a region of the sky devoid of constellations.

Constellation Camelopardalis(Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
The constellation was probably invented by Petrus Plancius (1552-1622), a Dutchman who made his name in cartography while working for the Dutch East India Company.
His world maps of 1592 and 1594 became very popular, while his contribution to the heavenly maps was awarded in 1624 when Camelopardalis was included in JakobBartsch's book on the constellations.
(Some historians believe Bartsch had invented the constellation.) The "camel-leopard" was so named because the Greeks thought the animal -- a giraffe -- had the head of a camel and the spots of a leopard.
Attractive star chart featuring the Camel-Leopard, a constellation that fills a vast region of faint stars surrounded by the brighter and more famous constellations of Ursa Major, Auriga, Perseus, and Cassiopeia.

Cassiopeia and Camelopardus, December Constellations(Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
From the northern hemisphere, the constellation is easily recognized by its distorted "W" shape.
Camelopardus, the Giraffe, is a faint and obscure constellation invented by the Dutch astronomer Petrus Plancius, but came into prominence through a book by the German mathematician JakobBartsch, a son-in-law of Johannes Kepler, who also named Colomba and Monoceros.
These constellations are practically impossible to see from New Zealand.
