M3 with AstroDMx Capture for Linux, a Canon EOS 4000D DSLR and a Skymax 127 Maksutov.

A Skymax 127 Maksutov was mounted on a Celestron AVX mount. A Canon EOS 4000D DSLR was placed at the Cassegrain focus and was USB tethered to a Fedora Linux laptop running AstroDMx Capture. 

45s exposures were captured of M13 with matching dark-frames.

The best 23 images were stacked and dark-frame corrected in Deep Sky Stacker. 

The resulting image was post processed in The Gimp 2.10, Affinity Photo and Neat image.
