A Skymax 127 Maksutov was mounted on an AVX mount and an Altair GP_CAM 225C CMOS camera was placed at the focus. For imaging Jupiter, the lens from a x2 Barlow was attached to the camera and for imaging the Moon, no Barlow was used.
AstroDMx Capture for Windows was used to capture the data. Stacking was done in Autostakkert!, wavelet processing was done in Registax and post processing was done in the Gimp 2.10.

The Altair GP-CAM worked very well with AstroDMx Capture and works well on macOS, Linux, and 32bit Raspberry Pi Linux.
