A Coronado Solarmax ll 60 BF15 H-alpha scope was mounted on a Celestron AVX mount. A SV305M Pro camera was placed at the focus.
AstroDMx Capture for Windows was used to capture two, overlapping, 5000-frame SER files of the Sun in H-alpha light.

The best 30% of the frames in the SER files were stacked in Autostakkert and wavelet processing in Registax 6.
The two resulting images were stitched together in Microsoft ICE, and post-processed in the Gimp 2.10.

A x2 CEMAX barlow was used with the SV305M Pro using a ZWO tilting adapter to reduce the effect of Newton's rings that plague CMOS cameras.
The region of the Sun with AR2833 was imaged with AstroDMx Capture for Windows, capturing 5000-frame SER files exposed for the disk and also exposed for the promineces.

The best 30% of the frames in each SER file were stacked in Autostakkert!, Wavelet processed in Registax 6, post-processed and combined in the Gimp 2.10.

The SV305M Pro is proving to be very capable in every imaging task given to it.
We shall continue to test and find issues in the SDK and reporting them to the manufacturer.
