NGC 1502 is also associated with Kemble's Cascade, an small chain of stars 2. 5 ° long that is parallel to the Milky Way and is pointed towards Cassiopeia.

* Kemble's Cascade in Camelopardalis is a chain of stars ( the waterfall ) that ends in open cluster NGC 1502.

It is an apparent straight line of more than 20 colorful 5th to 10th magnitude stars over a distance of approximately five moon diameters, and the open cluster NGC 1502 can be found at one end.

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.

NGC 2997 is a loose face-on spiral galaxy of type Sc.

Recent observations of the Planetary nebula NGC 6302 shows evidence for carbonates in space, where aqueous alteration similar to that on Earth is unlikely.

The open cluster NGC 4755, better known as the Jewel Box or Kappa Crucis Cluster, has an overall magnitude of 4. 2 — to the naked eye it appears to be a fuzzy star — and is about 7600 light-years from Earth.

Of these, the brightest is Messier 77 ( NGC 1068 ), a 9th magnitude spiral galaxy near Delta Ceti.

NGC 246 ( Caldwell 56 ), also called the Cetus Ring, is a planetary nebula with a magnitude of 8. 0, 1600 light-years from Earth.

The dwarf irregular galaxy NGC 1569 is a magnitude 11. 9 starburst galaxy, about 11 million light years away.

ω Centauri ( NGC 5139 ), despite being listed as the constellation's " omega " star, is in fact a naked-eye globular cluster, located at a distance of 17, 000 light-years with a diameter of 150 light-years.

NGC 3766 is an open cluster 6300 light-years from Earth that is visible to the unaided eye.

NGC 5460 is another naked-eye open cluster, 2500 light-years from Earth, that has an overall magnitude of 6 and contains approximately 40 stars.

There is one bright planetary nebula in Centaurus, NGC 3918, also known as the Blue Planetary.

NGC 4622 is a face-on spiral galaxy located 200 million light-years from Earth ( redshift 0. 0146 ).

One of the closest active galaxies to Earth is the Centaurus A galaxy, NGC 5128, at a distance of 11 million light-years ( redshift 0. 00183 ).

NGC 4650A is a polar ring galaxy located at a distance of 136 million light years from Earth ( redshift 0. 01 ).

The plane of the outer ring is distorted, which suggests that NGC 4650A is the result of a galaxy collision about a billion years ago.

Larger telescopes are needed to see several NGC objects, all galaxies, but none brighter than magnitude 11. 5 or larger than 3 arcminutes.

NGC 6891 is a planetary nebula of magnitude 10. 5.

NGC 6934 is a globular cluster of magnitude 9. 75.

NGC 1360 is a planetary nebula in Fornax with a magnitude of approximately 9. 0, 978 light-years from Earth.

NGC 6925 is a barred spiral galaxy of apparent magnitude 11. 3 which is lens shaped as it lies almost edge on to us.

NGC 6923 lies nearby and is a magnitude fainter still.

The largest of these include the 10 arcminute long magnitude 12 NGC 925 spiral galaxy and the 5 arcminute long magnitude 11. 6 NGC 672 barred spiral galaxy.
