Dion,

You need to do some maths to understand just how small the planets really are and how much magnification you need to get them up to a scale where you can usefully photograph them.

While your 80mm refractor is good for wide field stuff like nebulae and quite a few galaxies are easily within its reach photographically, it is too small to do much on the planets.
