For the planets you actually want to take short videos of 60-120 seconds with an exposure of between 5-12 ms. Also try and use a smaller region of interest to increase the frame rate although with the manual scope you will need a larger ROI. You can also adjust the gain until you get a decent image on the screen. Capture the video in a SER file of which you can take multiple. Once you have the SER files you need another piece of software called Autostakkert III which will stack the thousands of the best separate images into a single image. Then you want to use the software called Registax to sharpen the final image. This is a rough description of the process and I would advise you to watch some videos on YouTube regarding the software I've mentioned. You definitely don't want to use a reducer on the planets, a barlow on the other hand yes. Good luck.
