Factors that affect planetary imaging -
1/ Pixel resolution or sampling of your camera
2/ Focal ratio of your image train
3/ Atmospheric conditions
4/ Correct stacking procedures ( Autostakkert)
5/ Correct post processing ( Registax 6 )
6/ Focus
7/ Luck
1/ Pixel resolution of your camera should be as close to 1:1 as possible to allow correct sampling of your data
2/ General rule of thumb of focal ratio of your image train for planetary imaging is 5 x pixel size of your camera for average night of seeing and 7 x pixel size of your camera for a good night of seeing
3/ Atmospheric conditions
the play a huge part in the quality of your final image
Commonly referred to as “Lucky Imaging” as your trying to capture the planet when the atmosphere is stable for that split second over the duration of your video
4/ I can send you my procedure for Autostakkert 3 that I’ve used successfully for 3 years
5/ I can send you my procedure for Registax 6 that I’ve used successfully for 3 years
6/ Good focus is very important and takes skill and time to achieve especially when conditions are average to poor
7/ A bit of luck goes a long way for planetary imaging

PS Good first effort !!
Looks like conditions were poor that night and check your focus ?
