Filter for Planetary AP?

Seeking a bit of advice.

I finally managed to get my ASI120mm-c going last night and captured some great moon shots (figured I'd go for something big and obvious!!). While my Deep Sky AP is pretty good, I am still working through the best approach to planetary photography.

On to my question; when I slewed over to Jupiter, try as I might, the image was blown out as it was too bright. I suspect therefore I need a decent filter to assist me.

What do folks recommend for planetary work?

P.S. I wasn't sure where to post this as the beginners AP sub-board seemed to be more about feedback on shots taken. Apologies if I have posted in the wrong forum.

Pete
