i personally haven't done any planetary imaging, but i understand that the secret is that because the object is so bright, you need a relatively short exposure time (shutter speed) on your camera. as i understand it, insanely large focal lengths (2300mm and the like) and coupled with a webcam, as well as good seeing and spot on focusing, are pretty much necessary for producing the stunning images that can be found around these forums. that being said, if you can somehow set your camera to have a shutter speed of around 1/60 to 1/200 of a second, then taking lots (and i mean lots!) of photos then stacking them in registax or similar program, yo might have some success.
so that gives you something to work towards, i hope,in the mean time, see what you can achieve with what you have! after all, necessity breeds invention!
good luck mate.
