I usually have my movie mode set at around 1600 ISO and 60fps at a native f5 OTA to capture planets like Saturn. Saturn is way past opposition so it won't be very bright. Without knowing your telescope focal length and aperture, it's hard to say what's going on.
Thanks Mick. I have an F5 8" Skywatcher Newtonian. I noticed yesterday when taking pics of the sun, to get a good exposure I needed to turn ISO down and shutter speed up to the point that live view stopped working but I was still able to use the view finder to focus.

I'll copy your settings and see how go.

Cheers
Mick
