For planetary imaging, you shouldn't need guiding. You can typically only take shots for a few minutes at a time (after that, planetary rotation becomes a problem for stacking). Within that time, with decent polar alignment, the planet should stay on the sensor. Your video stacking program will have no issue in dealing with the frame-by-frame drift.
