Considering the fact that the seeing was poor and the telescope only has a 5" aperture, the detail in the image is acceptable from this low cost camera.

Jupiter with an SVBONY SV105 camera, a Skymax 127 and AstroDMx Capture for Linux
An SVBONY SV105 camera was placed at the Cassegrain focus of a Skymax 127 Maksutov. AstroDMx Capture for Linux was used to capture a 3 min SER file of Jupiter. The best 25% of the 2292 frames captured were stacked in Autostakkert!3 and wavelet processed in Registax 5.1, both running in Wine. The final image was post processed in The Gimp 2.10. Ganymede and the Great Red Spot are both visible.
