A common mistake people make starting out planetary captures is over exposing to make the planet look better on the camera screen. This is wrong, you have to remember the planets are in "full daylight" so fast shutter speeds are required. To test for yourself take moon photos and you'll find to get a pleasant exposure you'll be using shutter speeds that you'd usually use during a day at the park taking pics. Get used to ignoring all the "blackness" in the shot, it has zero effect on how bright your target is. If you can easily see a planet in live view you are overexposing it (which you cant correct for later). It sounds counter intuitive to a newbie but give it a try anyway and your planetary photography will take a forward leap.

I appreciate the advice. Thanks Sil.
