Luke,
Yes, I intended using movie mode and stacking, I have only used DSS and then only on deep sky images with the Canon but the results were encouraging, hence the desire to usurp Mr Peach.

Sil,
Yes, I was rather hoping for an Idiots guide to fantastic, amazing, gob smacking planetary photographs but am prepared to settle for rather average, blurry blobs that I, at least, recognise to be bits of the solar system.
Seriously, I do understand the need to gain some prior experience before Jupiter appears before my bedtime.
Many thanks for the time you have taken to respond to my original enquiry, it is a little overwhelming.
In my Astro life I have two images of which I am inordinately proud, the Tansit of Venus in both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, having emigrated to Australia in 2011.

Charles,
You seem to have doused my idea of using DLSR for planetary imaging, I have the chance of an ImagingSource DBK21AF618AS but understand that this is a FireWire camera. Can you give any advice on this camera.
Thanks to all who have responded to my original post.
Regards
Dave Cooke
