When taking photos of planetary objects such as Saturn, Jupiter etc and you are using liveview, ensure you set your live view exposure simulation. This is found in C.Fn IV-7 "Live View exposure simulation" (page 163 of the 40D Manual).
This is what I use to get Jupiter to appear "brighter" on the LCD otherwise it is so dim, I can hardly see it.
Also, the above is only applicable if you have your focus and eyepiece/image train aligned correctly as indicated by our fellow members in this thread.
Good luck!!
