Toothpick?[edit]

I notice that this page is linked to on the Asterism (astronomy) page from the term "Toothpick". While Toothpick does seem to be an appropriately descriptive nickname for Kemble's Cascade, I wonder if it is a name that is much used or recognized in the astronomical community. For example, while the "Sickle" and the "Teapot" are known to virtually all amateur astronomers and a Google search for the two terms "Brocchi's Cluster" and coathanger returns nearly 500 results, a similar search for the two terms "Kemble's Cascade" and toothpick returns no results at all. Can anyone find some usage examples of the name Toothpick referring to Kemble's Cascade?

  • Such a term is one amateur's invention, which is why I have removed it. Denni 02:24, 22 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

No Wikipedia article for Pazmino's cluster?[edit]

Pazmino's cluster, a well known open star cluster among many professional and amateur astronomers, also known as Stock 23 (St 23), located between the constellations Camelopardalis and Cassiopeia, should get its own Wikipedia article! Source Pazmino's cluster: Sky and Telescope, March 1978, page 275. DannyCaes (talk) 10:02, 10 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Aha! There's an Italian Wikipedia article (Stock 23). DannyCaes (talk) 10:19, 10 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
