Hello Chris,
Planetary photography isn't particularly easy. They tend to be fairly small targets and are greatly affected by atmospheric disturbance. It is quite hard to get a sharp focus also - especially in poor conditions. On the bright side - you don't need to take hours of exposure time like dso's.
Unless conditions are near perfect you probably won't get a great image from a single shot. When I have taken single exposures with a canon 550d I used 0.1 s @ iso1600 @ a focal length of 4700mm with a 9.25" sct.
The best way is to take a video and stack say the best 50% (I use registax) - this will take out most of the disturbances and then you can use wavelet filters to sharpen the image.
Regards,
Tony.
