Hope everyone is OK. I've made a bit of progress after making a few changes. First I got a different camera, a Canon 600D. Also changed from afocal to eyepiece projection. Only seems to work well with the 25mm eyepiece, but there is a slide to vary the magnification so that's OK. With this I was able to equal the results I was getting with the other camera. I then noticed a big improvement going from trying to keep the planet centered in the view, to just letting it drift. Much less vibration. Only thing is the videos are quite short, so I learned how to join about 10 of them together. I'm finding the drift method gives better results. Also got my first pic of Mars with some sort of detail, hopefully will improve on that soon. Some recent pics:
