Looking through the eyepiece I can visually see the planet shimmer like the sun setting over a hot road, so I'm surprised at the nice pictures I've been able to get. In essence it's worth a try from Sydney I reckon, the images won't be world beaters, but you should get some that are nice.
Like Paul said, practice is important. I used the filter wheel and captured Jupiter in RGB a few nights ago, on a new Dob, without and then with Robofocus, it all requires practice.

Hi Stuart,
Just saw some of your images
Very nice
I'd love to get an electronic focuser but for now i'll have to stick to my feathertouch.
