The asterism known as Kemble’s Cascade, named for Canadian astronomer and Franciscan friar Father Lucien Kemble who first drew people’s attention to this interesting line of stars near the star cluster NGC 1502 at lower left. This is in Camelopardalis. This is with the AM 106mm apo refractor at f/6 and Canon 6D MkII at ISO 1600 for a stack of 6 x 4 minutes exposures. A “glow” layer with a Luminar Orton glow effect adds the star glows, while a layer with the Astronomy Tools star spikes action adds the diffraction spikes. Taken from home Nov. 28, 2018.
Kembles Cascade area - with Canon 20Da and 135mm Canon L-series telephoto at f/2.8 for stack of 4 x 4 minute exposures at ISO 400. Glow layer added to emphasize stars. Siumlates a binocular field.
Kemble’s Cascade and the star cluster NGC 1502 in Camelopardalis. The northern portion of the Cascade of stars is cut off at left here. The field includes the southern portion and the star cluster NGC 1502 at the south end of the chain of stars. Taken from home Nov. 25, 2016 with the 130mm AP f/6 apo refactor with the 6x7 field flattener and Canon 6D at ISO 800 for a stack of 4 x 6 minute exposures. Named for Father Lucien Kemble, an ardent deep-sky observer from Canada. Natural haze added some star glows, plus additional glows added with a Gaussian blur layer.
