Artist's Comments

An old astrolabe. I have absolutely no idea how you use one of these things, but wow, they look really cool. The lines and complexity of this was too good to resist.

I was really upset to find when I got home that someone had taken all of my things and replaced them with exact replicas.

Very awesome! Astrolabes are always great subjects for pictures.

Thank you! Frankly I'm amazed it's this clear at all... I took it with my digital camera, which tends to blur everything if you don't use flash. Looking at the picture though, I'm not quite sure if the details are blurred from the camera, or just because it's an old replica and has probably been handled and worn down a bit.
