Thoughts on recommendation

[lee g]

So whilst I’m still gathering info and funds before considering video astronomy I thought I might bide my time with a bit of planetary imaging. I have been recommended this camera ZWO ASI 120MC-S USB 3.0 and would like some opinions please 

I currently use a modified Philips webcam on my cpc800 on alt az mount would this camera be a big  improvement?

I think so, here are examples:

modded webcam (Logitech c270):

QHY-5IILc - which is same specs as ASI120 camera only USB2.0 version:

Both taken with 130mm F/7 newtonian on EQ2 mount.
