When I was imaging last night, I tried 4x4 binning. If your camera can handle that, it makes life much easier, because you can see the whole chip on screen which means that you're using the full FOV. I found it much easier to get Mars centred that way - after which I switched back to 1x1
Another trick - I typically do planetary stuff on moonlit nights, because DSO is out. This has a big advantage - you can get excellent focus on the moon, and then switch to your planet of interest. I've found it MUCH easier to get a precise focus on lunar features vs tiny planetary discs...
