Awesome! I have obtained some very detailed images of Jupiter with the C8 in the past just using a cheap webcam. With the ASI290MM I'm sure you can get some amazing results!
Collimation of SCTs is absolutely crucial for planets (both imaging and visual). The difference between collimation being close and sensibly perfect is huge for planetary images. I used software to assist with collimation for the best images I was able to obtain.
Take care,
