NGC 6888 - The Crescent Nebula732 viewsAn emission nebula in the constellation Cygnus, about 5000 light-years away from Earth; formed by the fast stellar wind from the Wolf-Rayet star WR 136 colliding with and energizing slower-moving matter ejected by the star when it became a red giant around 250,000 to 400,000 years ago.

M31 - The Andromeda Galaxy732 viewsA wide-field view of the Andromeda Galaxy, 2.5 million light years away and 152,000 light years in diameter. Satellite galaxies M32 (above right of center, on rim of M31) and M110 (bottom center) also appear in the frame. Red swath at left was caused by a reflection of the red power-on light on the ZWO ASI2600MC camera, which sits in front of the telescope.

Tetrapylon731 viewsThis is the first structure you would normally see upon entry to the site. For us it was the last, since we walked the site in reverse. The Tetrapylon consisted of four rows of four columns (tetra = four and pylon = gateway in Greek). Built in the second century AD, It was extensively repaired and re-erected in 1990.

The Amphitheater at Side731 viewsThe Side Amphitheater was ground zero for viewing the spectacle on eclipse day. I shudder to think of how packed the place must have been, and I think our location on the beach at the Kaya Side Hotel must have been much less crowded and more relaxed.
