Kemble’s Cascade
Kemble’s Cascade, also known as Kemble 1, is an asterism in the constellation Camelopardis named after Lucien Kemble, a friar who spotted it with its binoculars. It is formed by about 20 stars in a straight line with a length of 3 arcseconds (about the same as 5 times the Full Moon apparent diameter); on one end the open cluster NGC 1502 can be seen. These stars are not related and their alignment happens by coincidence.
