Are you using visual or via a camera. You say that your telescope is the same as the link you show except for the use camera. All the current advice is astrophotography related.

The advice on not touching the focuser once focused on the Moon when switching targets to another object is good except that if you were using a high power eyepiece you will have trouble aquiring a planet without first switching to a low power eyepiece which will more than likely require a focus change.

If visual What eyepiece have you used to focus on the Moon, I.e. What magnification were you using? Did you try the same eyepiece on planets? Have you tried other eyepieces?
