ABOVE This marvellous asterism mapped above is officially named after Father Lucian Kemble, one of R.A.S.C.'s beloved observers who remarked on its beauty resembling a cascade pouring into a pool that is NGC1502,and also contemplated its linear appearance. The asterism is circumpolar from Canada, although you will want better seeing when it is higher above the horizon. You can see a photomosaic of Kemble's Cascade thru Virtualsky.org* Thanks to R.
Dechesne of the R.A.S.C. for describing how to easily find the asterism; I have used his directions in subsequently making these star-hop maps.

BELOW Animated star-hop maps for the same asterism, show stars at mag 7 and also at 9,5 or fainter. (If a sequence of mini-maps doesn't show, one by one, check your browser preferences; animating graphics or graphics looping may be off.) The first two mini-maps to appear show the Casseopeia-Camelopardalis region and a closer map in the Kemble's Cascade region when stars to mag 7 are visible. The third and fourth mini-maps show the same two regions when stars of mag 9.5 and dimmer can be seen. The graphic sequence loops several times.
