you see those planets clearly for less than a second at a time.
It would be good only for video and lucky seeing -
selecting the best frames and stacking.

I bet lucky seeing from Eagleview would be well below 1 arc second.

cheers

Yes considered giving that a go, Kevin Parker does just that and has recently done some great work on some small planetary nebs, if you're on it, here is his Facebook page
