This is mosaic 6 images I have been taken with an Skywatcher BK DOB14" Collapsible 355mm @f/4.5 telescope mounted on an Skywatcher AZ EQ6 mount German Equatorial / Alt-Az dual mode. Camera Unibrain Fire-i 785b (Monochrome) was used along with SupaSlim Filter Wheel. A Televue 3x barlow was used to increase the effective focal length and consequent magnification.

Edward Gibbon described him as "
