About this image

Other than the two comets (2017 T2 and the disintegrating 2019 Y4), Camelopardalis (the Giraffe) seems a huge void with little of interest. There are a few good deep sky objects there of course, one being this lovely open cluster that lies at the end of a pretty asterism, Kemble's Cascade.
