Testing the new SVBONY SV305 camera for Lunar and Deep-Sky imaging

SVBONY sent Nicola and I one of their new SV305 cameras for testing and for implementation in AstroDMx Capture for Linux and macOS.

Full details of the tests can be found at https://x-bit-astro-imaging.blogspot.com/

The SER files and Tiff files were captured using SharpCap before we are sent the SDKs for Linux and MacOS.

The camera is well-built and performed very well in these initial tests.
