After the cloudiest Winter since starting this hobby, we finally had a break in the clouds last week. Unfortunately the Winter nebulas disappear behind the trees (to the West) in my backyard around 11:00. To maximize my time I shot several of the same targets with my two rigs. I was looking for something else to shoot and stumbled across some cool asterisms. Most are huge of course, but there are several smaller ones.

Went with 30-60 sec subs as I was fighting a nearly full moon, which was great for the Lunar Eclipse. A quick search here on Astrobin resulted in only a few images.

Here is the first of a few. Kemble 2, also referred to as Mini Cassiopeia or Little Cassiopeia. It is located in the constellation Draco, near the star Chi Draconis. It is approximately 10 x 20 arc minutes in size.

From the following site: https://www.glyphweb.com/esky/constellations/kemble2.html

“Kemble 2 takes its name from Father Lucian Kemble, who identified several small and curious asterisms in the northern sky, and three of these formations carry 'Kemble' numbers. Kemble 1, or Kemble's Cascade, is a nearly straight line of stars near the cluster Collinder 45 in Camelopardalis. Kemble 3, called Kemble's Kite, is a grouping in eastern Cassiopeia, forming a diamond-shaped kite with a string of stars representing its tail.”
