Image Details:

Last night I braved the sub-zero cold to spend some time imaging Kemble's Cascade, which is a line of colorful stars in Camelopardalis that ends in the compact open star cluster NGC 1502. Father Lucien Kemble, a Franciscan priest and member of the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada, was the discoverer of this asterism.
