Custos Messium (Latin for harvest-keeper) — also known as “Vineyard Keeper," “Le Messier,” "Mietitore," and "Erndtehüter" — was a constellation created by Joseph Jérôme Lefrançois de Lalande to honor Charles Messier. It was introduced in 1775, and was located between the constellations Camelopardalis, Cassiopeia, Cepheus, and next to another subsequently abandoned constellation, Rangifer the Reindeer. Custos Messium is no longer recognized.
