Loan of a wide field colour camera for the weekend?

Hi all, as you may be aware, the great Jupiter/Saturn conjunction is coming up this weekend, and I would really like to capture this event with as high a resolution as possible. I've been imaging the planets for 2 years now, most recently with my ASI224MC camera, which is ideal for planetary but has a very small sensor. This is fine for planetary, but not so great for the conjunction. Some recent examples of my work is here.

I've worked out that with my current setup I will just be able to capture the conjunction with a reasonable level of resolution, but I'm limited due to the sensor size of the camera. Ideally, something like an ASI183MC, or even a 294MC or 533MC would work but I don't have access to these.

So, if you have one of these (or a similar colour camera) 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,

Andrew
