Description

Kemble's Cascade is an asterism of ~20 stars in a straight line (running from the top right to bottom left), about 2.5 degrees long in Camelopardalis. Visually it's best as a binocular target. If you're trying to locate it in planetarium software, the open cluster NGC 1502 sits at one of the ends (not in frame). I found some test shots of this target in old data, and decided to process it for the hell of it. Other than the cascade itself this is a pretty boring part of sky. Captured on March 22, 2018 from a Bortle 5 zone.
