Lunar and planetary are usually shot in movie mode, many frames stacked to get over the seeing turbulence. Planets and the moon of course are quite bright objects so no need for long exposure imaging. High frame rates grab those instances of stable air and in stacking you can reject poor images and stack the best to get good pix. 500 + frames is good normally.
Check air stability by watching the moon at high mag through your scope, it wobbles like a jelly sometimes.

Oh Yeh, and sorry, you're hooked as Ray says ... no going back now.
