Description:
This asterism is one of the most beautiful things that can be observed in the firmament, in my opinion. This is the so-called Kemble's Cascade, named from the homonymous Franciscan friar (and amateur astronomer) Lucian Kemble who observed it on 1980. Also known as Kemble 1, this asterism is located a few degrees away from the Heart and Soul nebulae in the constellation of Camelopardalis and appears as a straight line of about 20 colored stars from fifth to tenth magnitude that seems to flow and fall into the open cluster NGC 1502 (bottom left of my image). The field of view is not suitable for the focal length of my Konus, which is why I had to make a 2x2 mosaic to capture the entire cascade.
