yep...crank it up..800 or even 1600 if it goes that far...but you won't need that high a setting for the planets...they will burn out...400 should be ok, or even 200..just experiment with the exposure time..be warned...if the bug bites, you'll be spending all your beer money on the new hobbie...its a deeply rewarding one though...but these days the price of a decent setup is not all that prohibative...but you do have a decent scope...but with that focal length it would make your exposure times very long, and your field of view a lot smaller....but you'll get around these problems...have you been doing much observing??

enjoy
