The Bibliotheca Augusta is home to tens of thousands of ancient texts including one book valued at around $20 Million. A large part of the collection is dedicated to ancient astronomy and astrology. The turnstile book holder (the large old wooden thing to the left of center on the first floor) was hand built by the famous poet and author, Gotthold Ephriam Lessing, over 100 years ago. This shot was difficult to get since they didn't allow tripods in and the light was kept so low (to help preserve the books I think) that the shutter speed sat at 2.5 seconds for each of the 368 shots while the Gigapan unit rested on a table which might account for the beautiful arches being rendered so poorly. Shot with a Canon G9.
