		Keyser was chief pilot on the Hollandia and later on the Mauritius, two of the fleet of four ships that left the Netherlands in 1595 on the first Dutch trading expedition to the East Indies, sailing via Madagascar.
		Keyser was adept at astronomy and mathematics; the Dutch author A. Wanders, in his book In the Realm of the Sun and Stars, writes that Keyser observed from the crow’s nest with an instrument (probably an astrolabe or cross-staff – this was still the pre-telescopic era) given to him by Plancius.
		Keyser died in September 1596 while the fleet was at Bantam (now Banten, near the modern Serang in western Java).

		Keyser was adept at astronomy and mathematics; the Dutch author A. Wanders, in his book In the Realm of the Sun and Stars, writes that Keyser observed from the crow’s nest with an instrument given to him by Plancius.
		The Dutch fleet in which Keyser sailed was commanded by the explorer Cornelis de Houtman; among the crew was his younger brother Frederick de Houtman (1571–1627) who apparently assisted Keyser in his observations.
		De Houtman increased Keyser’s 135 measured star positions to 303, although 107 of these were stars already known to Ptolemy, according to a study of the catalogue by the English astronomer E. Knobel.

	The Dutch Navigators
		Ian Ridpath attributes twelve constellations of the southern celestial hemisphere to the Dutch navigators Pieter Dirkszoon Keyser and Frederick de Houtman.
		On the occasion of the first Dutch expedition to the East Indies, in 1595, Plancius asked Keyser, the chief pilot on the Hollandia, to make observations to fill in the blank area around the south celestial pole on European maps of the south celestial hemisphere.
		Keyser died in Java the following year, but his catalog of 135 stars was delivered to Plancius, who inscribed the twelve new constellations on a globe he prepared in 1598.

		The constellation Dorado is in the shape of a fish.
		The constellation has been credited to two Dutch navigators, Pieter Dirkszoon Keyser and Frederick de Houtman, who were asked to make celestial observations on a voyage to the East Indies.
		Their results, including Dorado, were included on a star globe created by Petrus Plancius in 1598 and were incorporated into a star atlas published by Johann Bayer in 1603.

		In the northern celestial hemisphere, these are mostly based upon the constellations of the ancient Greek tradition, passed down through the Middle Ages.
		Twelve of the constellations in the southern celestial hemisphere were not observable by the Greeks, and were created by Dutch navigators Pieter Dirkszoon Keyser and Frederick de Houtman in the sixteenth century and first cataloged by Johann Bayer.
		In addition to these 12, Ptolemy listed another 36 constellations (which now count as 38, due to the break-up of Argo Navis).

	Hydrus - Unipedia
		Hydrus (Latin for Hydra, also referred to as "male Hydra" or "little Hydra") is a minor southern constellation.
		The constellation was one of twelve constellations created by Pieter Dirkszoon Keyser and Frederick de Houtman between 1595 and 1597, and it first appeared in Johann Bayer's Uranometria of 1603.
		Since it was introduced in the 17th century, and due to its southern position is not visible from Greece, there is no earlier mythology associated with Hydrus, despite its name.

		The constellation Indus lies deep in the southern sky, nestled between three birds, Grus (The Crane), Tucana (The Toucan) and Pavo (The Peacock), cf.
		First catalogued in 1595-1597 by the Dutch navigators Pieter Dirkszoon Keyser and Frederick de Houtman, this constellation was added to the southern sky by Johann Bayer in his book 'Uranometria' (1603) to honour the Native Americans that European explorers had encountered on their travels.
		In particular, it has been suggested that it is specifically the native peoples of Tierra del Fuego and Patagonia that are represented in Indus, just over two thousand kilometres south of La Silla where the first spectroscopic observations of Epsilon Indi B were made some 400 years later.

		Additional information may be available at Roger Wilcox's Internet Stellar Database.
		Constellation Indus was created by Dutch navigators Pieter Dirkszoon Keyser and Frederick de Houtman, who charted the southern skies from 1595 to 1597.
		Since many Europeans were exploring North America at the time, Johann Bayer decided to honor the new constellation by naming it for the American Indian in a collection of new constellations for his 1603 book Uranometria.

		Tucana is named for the Toucan, a brightly colored South American bird with a very large, thick bill.
		Tucana is another collaboration between the Dutch navigators Keyser and de Houtman who charted the southern skies on a voyage to the East Indies, and Johann Bayer, an astronomer who cataloged and published their newly discovered star patterns in his 1603 sky atlas.

		Star charts contained only the 48 constellations tabulated by Ptolemy until the end of the 16th century.
		Then Pieter Dircksz Keyser, a navigator who joined the first Dutch expedition to the East Indies in 1595, added 12 new constellations in the southern skies, named in part after exotic birds such as the toucan, peacock, and phoenix.
		Recognition of the constellations can be traced to early civilization.
