It was named by
Walter Scott Houston in honor of Father
Lucian J. Kemble (1922–1999), a Franciscan
Friar and amateur
astronomer who wrote a letter to Houston about the asterism, describing it as "a beautiful cascade of faint stars tumbling from the northwest down to the open cluster NGC 1502" that he had discovered while sweeping the sky with a pair of 7x35 binoculars.
[1]Houston was so impressed that he wrote an article on the asterism that appeared in his "Deep Sky Wonders" column in the astronomy magazine
Sky & Telescope in 1980, in which he named it "Kemble's Cascade".
Muy buena historia la de este objeto, creo que falta alguna estrella. Es lo mejor que he podido hacer con este asterismo.
