Hi Ice,
yes you will love the ToUcam, it does up the frustration levels proportionately, but with practise you will grow to love it.
I suggest IRIS, or if you are not miserable like me K3CCD Tools (you have to pay for this now) for capture, and nothing but Registax for after capture, with maybe Photoshop for final tweaking.
I use 10fps, and for planets normally about 60 seconds of avi. For the moon I normally use about 10 seconds. Depends on the seeing as well, but with really good seeing I can use the 5x Powermate with a 1000mm - 12500mm scope. With the 2160mm scope (focal lengths, don't get excited!!!), I normally use the 2.5x Powermate, or eyepiece projection. Good seeing normally allows about f30, poor much less. If you get stuck sing out.

P.S, yes it is a luxury, with the only "downside" being I have to shift onto the grass nearby in the summer as the asphalt soaks up the suns heat, and stays warm for ages at night.
