Hi Martin, and welcome. Good first pics. To get sharp planetary pics you
need to take 1000 or so video frames, toss out the bad frames, and stack the remainder in Registax [freeware] or other software. Ditto the moon, but good lunar pics can be obtained with a DSLR with perseverance.
James, your scope is I assume f/4.7 or so, and Martin's is f/4, so a 6mm
eyepiece in your scope would give almost the same magnification. as his
5mm does in his scope. I assume that Martin would have had his scope tracking, so he can look for detail for pretty well as long as he likes, whereas you have to keep nudging yours[ unless it's a Go To model.] A 2x Barlow would make it
appear twice as large.
