First light for the prototype SV305M Pro, monochrome USB3.0, CMOS astronomy camera

Nicola has implemented the pre-production SVBONY SV305M Pro, monochrome camera in AstroDMx Capture for Windows, macOS and Linux.

For testing the SV305M Pro camera was placed at the focus of a  Bresser Messier-AR-102-xs/460 ED, f/4.5 refractor mounted on a Celestron AVX mount that was pulse auto-guided using a Linux laptop running PHD2 pulse-autoguiding.

AstroDMx Capture for Windows was used to capture data on the globular cluster M4.

Full details and all of the images can be seen HERE.
