Bartsch published a 1624 book containing star charts that depicted the constellation Camelopardalis and five other new constellations.
The book Usus astronomicus planisphaerii stellati included charts for six constellations introduced by Plancius around 1613. These figures had previously appeared on a celestial globe by Pieter van den Keere. Bartsch's publication provided a planispheric representation of these northern sky objects.
