My 120mc died after 5 years, equipment wouldn't recognize it :(
So new camera came this morning, hope to use it soon.

Congrats on the new cam. I just received my ASI last week. Still have not completed a first light, but plan to over the next couple of days, hopefully.

managed to capture some spots today, Sun real low, lots of distortion.
It appears to capture much better detail then the 120mc.

This is basically a raw scan, sharpened a bit when encoding vid.

Laptop may not be able to keep up since its a USB2 and the Cam is 3.
