Hi there, as Martin says above, the best way to image the planets is by capturing the Liveview stream at 5x zoom using something like BackyardEOS. Best resolution is obtained with the focal ratio at around 5x the pixel size of the camera (so around f/20). Have a look at Jerry's website here and follow the instructions - note that BackyardEOS has a free 1 month trial period so take advantage of that.

However, if you have something that can track the planets, that would certainly help.
