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.

<<Theophilus of Alexandria (died 412) was Patriarch of Alexandria, Egypt, from 385 to 412. He is regarded as a saint by the Coptic Orthodox Church. He was a Coptic Pope at a time of conflict between the newly dominant Christians and the pagan establishment in Alexandria, each supported by a segment of the Alexandrian populace. Edward Gibbon described him as "...the perpetual enemy of peace and virtue, a bold, bad man, whose hands were alternately polluted with gold and with blood." The lunar crater Theophilus was named after him, as part of a group of three lunar craters named after Christian Orthodox saints from Alexandria.>>
