So, if you have one of these (or something similar) and you don't plan to use it over the coming few days, live in Melbourne, and don't mind lending it to me, I would be very grateful.
Thanks in advance,

Hi Andrew,
I don't have any of those cameras, but I do have a 290MC which on your C9.25 without barlow would give you a bit more resolution (0.25 arcsec/pixel) compared with the (0.33 arcsec/pixel) of your 224MC and allow a slightly more comfortable framing, albeit still at the corners of the frame to just fit in the conjunction at around 7 arcmin separation on the 21stDec. Given how close the planets are to the corners, a day before or after the 21st and it would not fit.
You could also try adapting a 4K video camera/mirrorless/DSLR to the task.
Best
