First light for ZWO ASI-462MC

The new camera I ordered arrived today, and would you believe it ... the sky was clear in Melbourne tonight!!! (damn cold though)

Can certainly see an improvement from the neximage 5 I had before (framerate and sensitivity is amazing)

Jupiter shots are the best 50% of 12,000 frames in 2 mins.
Saturn was 26,000 frames in 4 mins (gain seems to go forever!)

Quite stoked with what the 8" SCT can do!

Great images of the 2 planets, you're off to a good start with the new camera.

Nice work Brett - Jupiter in particular is very good.

Wow what a great start with the new camera! Even more impressive to have clear sky when new gear arrives!
