- Description: This is a bright asterism of stars that resembles a small version of
the constellation of Cassiopeia. This is a group of mag 7-9 stars covering 20 arc minutes. The
name Kemble 2 appears in the 2nd edition of Uranometria and Megastar v5, honoring the late Fr.
Lucian Kemble (1922 - 1999), a well known Canadian amateur astronomer and Franciscan friar. He
had written about the asterism in an article he never published. He is also attached to the well
known Kemble's Cascade in Camelopardalis. My thanks to Sue French for
this information, taken from her excellent book - Celestial Sampler by Sky Publishing.
