Created by Hevelius in 1684. Named in honor of King Sobieski of Poland, who helped Hevelius rebuild his observatory after it was destroyed by a fire in 1679. All other constellations created for political or commercial reasons have disappeared, but although Sobieski's name is usually ignored, his constellation remains.

     Stars which have common names often have multiple names, so the common names shown (if any) cannot be considered authoritative. Right ascension and declination are given in 2000.0 coordinates.
