Tom's correct, just checked the Jan Fuzzy spot and NGC 1502 is at the SE end
of Kembles Cascade. Easy to find in bino's or an rft and makes a good
pointer to 1502 & 1501, both SAC 110 objects.

give it a go. (During star hop, I encountered a distinctive line of stars
in my finder scope. Was that Kemble's Cascade?)..
Bill,
Yep, it's a distinctive chain of stars that looks great in a finderscope,
or something providing a field of 3 degrees or so. The tight open cluster
NGC 1502 lies at the southeast (I think) end of the chain.
