Deep Sky with the SVBONY T7 W2568A camera, AstroDMx Capture for Linux and a 10 inch, f/4.8 Newtonian

An SVBONY T7 W2568A camera was placed at the Newtonian focus of an Orion Europa, 10 inch, f/4.8 Newtonian. Exposures were captured in RAW 8, with real-time dark-frame and flat-field correction using AstroDMx Capture for Linux on a Debian laptop. The exposures were saved as Tiff files. M13 (50 x 15s exposures), M57 (30 x 45s exposures) and M82 (30 x 60s exposures). The exposures were stacked in Deep Sky Stacker running in Wine and Post processed in the Gimp 2.9 and Neat Image.

Quite acceptable deep-sky images from this low cost SVBONY W2568A high-speed camera. An ideal starter camera.
