![Kemble\'s Cascade & NGC 1502](http://eas-online.org.uk/wp-content/gallery/deep-sky/Kembles-Cascade_4885.jpg "Kemble\'s Cascade, so named because Kemble, in a letter, described it as \\"a beautiful cascade of faint stars tumbling from the northwest down to the open cluster NGC 1502\\".
A trail of quite colourful stars that lead \'up\' to a small cluster of stars, NGC1502. This asterism is located in the constellation Camelopardalis. It is an apparent straight line, due to our line of sight, of more than 20 colourful 5th to 10th magnitude stars over a distance of approximately 2.5 degrees to the open cluster NGC 1502. Its size and colours makes a nice binocular object. My first attempt a few days earlier was a disaster as I had a light pollution filter on the camera and it messed with the colours. This shot was snatched last night between passing clouds using a small Williams Optics 72mm f 6.3 scope and a Canon DSLR. exposure 7sec @iso 1600. By Ian Bradley")
