A large but very faint constellation in the northern sky that never sets in our latitudes. It lies in an almost starless region, in the space between Cepheus, Cassiopeia, Perseus, Auriga, Lynx, Draco, and the star Polaris of the Little Bear. It is almost impossible to make out the cluster of faint but actually very distant and very bright stars without a good map. Although this constellation occupies a fairly large area and its southeastern boundary extends slightly into the Milky Way, it contains only four stars brighter than 4.5 mag. However, this faint region harbours several nice open clusters (NGC 1502), a relatively bright galaxy (NGC 2403), a nice planetary nebula (NGC 1501) and an exceptional cluster of stars known as the Kemble Cascade.
