It's been a long while since I did any solar system imaging having focused on the deep sky. With Jupiter and Saturn hitting opposition in mid July 2020 I figured I would jump back into planetary and lunar imaging. I decided to upgrade to a faster camera; namely a ZWO ASI178MC. A bonus feature is it comes with an all sky lens I might play with if we visit a dark sky site. It can also be used as a guide camera, thought I already have an Orion Magnificent Mini Auto-guider for that role.
No surprise that with the arrival of a new piece of equipment it's been mostly cloudy weather for the last week. I can't complain too much since I write this during a waxing gibbous moon when I wouldn't be DSO imaging anyway. If I get a clear night in the next few days I'll venture out late to the local park for a little gas giant imaging.
