No, I shoot the planets with the 550d video crop mode which features on this model and the 60d, it crops the full HD to 640 x 480. So it uses a small portion of the 1080 x 1920 array, thus effectively enlarging the image. Great for getting focus and a fast frame rate. I shot Jupiter at 800iso because it is so bright. Seeing was only fair that night so I would imagine I could do better given good seeing conditions. Hope this answers your question.
