NGC 1502 (also Collinder 45 and OCL 383) is a magnitude +6.9 open star cluster located in the constellation Camelopardalis. 

The cluster was discovered by German-British astronomer William Herschel using a 47.5 cm (18.7 inch) f/13 speculum reflector at Windsor Road in Slough, Berkshire, on the 3rd November 1787. 

Position (J2000): R.A. 04h 07m 49.2s  |  Dec. +62° 19' 54"

 It is considered one of the finest objects in this constellation. Kemble's Cascade seems to "flow" into NGC 1502.
