Description:
Here is another asterism discovered by Father Lucien Kemble, namely Kemble's Kite for which I had to compose a mosaic of 2 vertical panels. During his life, Kemble noticed several asterisms in the sky and wrote about them in a letter in 1980 to the Sky&Telescope magazine columnist and famous astronomer Walter Scott Houston. In time, Houston labelled these 3 asterisms Kemble’s Kite, Kemble 2, and Kemble’s Cascade. Kemble’s Kite consists of about 20 orange, blue and white stars, with magnitudes ranging from 6 to 11 and it is located in the constellation of Cassiopeia.
