Really cool Chris.  I use that camera routinely for solar prominence closeups.  It is incredibly good for that also.. 

Just think if Gallileo had been able to use this stuff how far ahead we would be now.

Another try to show the four well positioned planets to scale.
This time the seeing was more stable so I used the C9 at f10 with the Imaging source DMK618 and Baader color and IR filters.
The result is much improved over the last try with the color camera.
