Is this length of exposure (ie sub 1 second) typical for taking shots of Saturn?

That sort of exposure length is typical of any shot taken of the bright planets and the Moon. You have very bright targets and exposing for anything longer than 1/2 sec will way overexpose these. Typically for the Moon, it's virtually point and shoot....your exposure time can be as short as 1/500sec, depending on the phase of the Moon and the sensitivity of your camera and it's other settings, such ISO rating etc.
