I placed some weights on the mount and yeah, it helped stabalise it a fair bit. Still abit fidgety but much better then before and I dont think I can ask for more.
I also hooked the telescope up to a CCTV camera to view which acutally made it a bit easier to try and point the telescope and made what I was viewing larger.
Venus is still a blur but it had a distinctive egg shape (Is Venus' current phase is somewhere between half and full?). Mars and Saturn were too faint for my camera to detect I think (I'm going to try a better camera later). Would the ice caps of Mars be visible and rings of Saturn differentiable and bands on Jupiter or is that asking for a bit too much?
Well anyway, thanks guys
