Column, View near Base720 viewsIt took three shots to capture this column in adequate detail. This is the section nearest the base. I don't know the identity of the figure depicted here; my guess is that it's a public official performing a sacrifice to Artemis.

Cenotaph720 viewsActually, this isn't really his tomb, which was destroyed by the Turks when they conquered Constantinople. It is a marker, or cenotaph, placed by Italians in the 19th century near the probable site of the tomb.

NGC 6543 - Cat's Eye Nebula720 viewsA structurally very complex planetary nebula about 3000 light-years from Earth in the constellation Draco. In large-telescope images it has the appearance of a cat's eye, but in my 5" refractor it appears simply as a bright blue star with a halo. The small spiral galaxy off to the left is probably NGC 6552.
