Mars imaging - how do you do it

So, I'm getting excited about Mars. But I've never done planetary imaging.
Can I do it with my gear?
- 8" F5 newt which I suppose would be better the f5.9 80mm refractor.
- ASI224MC. Or I've got an ASI290MM - mono but smaller pixels
- And I found a 2x Bintel Barlow in a box of stuff I've never used that came with my first scope.

The newt, 224MC and barlow combo is 0.39"/pixel. Is that enough to have a go? And I've got sharpcap.
