What you need to do is experiment, firstly it's a mono camera so colour is not an issue unless you are using filter wheels. For Lunar gain is on the lowscale and exposure on the higher side and capture in AVI or SER to get lots of frames.
For planetary the gain should be around half or more whilst capturing as many avi/ser frames as possible, the frame rate of the video capture needs to be fairly high which is why exposure is quick and hence gain is higher for planetary, keep an eye on the screen for best results, if it looks ok on the screen then the stacking software will do the rest. it's all a balancing game
