Thanks for the comments
Focusing on a planet in live view that’s continually fading in and out plus jumping around due to image scale and atmospheric turbulence is not an easy exercise.
It’s really hit and miss , that’s why it’s called “lucky imaging” as you have to take quite a few videos and hope you’ve nailed a good one out of the batch
The fun begins in planetary when you finish stacking as its a good indicator that the next process sharpening , noise and colour etc ... will land you a “keeper”
Planetary also doesn’t take hours and hours and hours like DSO imaging , that night I was happy with enough captured after 30 or 40 minutes total for both Jupiter and Saturn
Thanks again
Cheers
