Kemble's Cascade

Introduction | Map | Own Observations | References

On this page I collect my observations of the star pattern (asterism) Kemble's Cascade in the constellation Camelopardis.

Introduction

Kemble's Cascade is an about 2.5° long chain of stars in the southwestern constellation of Camelopardis (giraffe), which does not hava any catalogue designation. It is supposed to be visible with the naked eye, but I found it only in the telescope.

Kemble's Cascade created with SkySafari 6; it looked more impressive to me in the telescope (Image Courtesy of SkySafari Astronomy, www.simulationcurriculum.com)

Size: 2.80° (Stoyan)
Distance: no physical object
Rating: *** (Stoyan)
