Dave forget trying to image planets with a DSLR. Yes you can do it with eyepiece projection, but the results will be less than satisfactory compared to other imaging setups. For planetary imaging then webcamming it is the only way to fly. I use eyepiece projection for image scale with the webcam and I have also done it with the DSLR. Webcam wins hands down. There is just no comparison. To get a better planetary image you will need to book access time on the hubble.
