Hi Paul ,I tried the DSI on the planets and moon but couldn't get any sort of a decent image on these objects.
Since I installed the new software with Drizzle I have been able to get a good moon shot same scope and setup just the different software. I think some changes where made to allow the DSI to take good planetary images, try the new software you may find it does a better job on the planets.You can get it here
