Raymo is totally correct
As I mentioned in my post seeing conditions were poor due to atmospheric turbulence and low lying sea fog
I too have taken a single iPhone shot of the moon through my 12” dob with good detail but stacking video files , sharpening and processing in good seeing conditions especially at 5 x mag or higher provides a superior image to that of any single frame. Like Raymo mentioned it’s almost impossible to capture a good single frame image of the planets, the only way to do this is through “Lucky imaging” by stacking and post processing
Have a look at Jerry Lodriguss website astropix , he is a master at lunar and planetary imaging

As I mentioned in my post I used BYEOS on the laptop. I always set up on my outdoor workstation now for all astrophotography. But I don’t sit there all night, only check on guiding etc. once every half hour / hour or so and to check on progress of capture frames etc..
See some photos of my set up at night
Thanks all for replying
Most appreciated
Cheers
Martin
