Welcome Phill, like you I have just joined "The Lounge."  From my user name you will guess that I am resident in the great southern land, but it was not always that way. I spent my first 12 years in the Rhondda Valley boyo!

Unlike Wales, here in Western Australia the skies are generally clear. On summer evenings here it is not  unusual to be wearing tee shirts up until midnight. The down side, apart from having to hang on to the globe by the feet, is that

the summer hot air rises after sun-down and that can boil any image for hours!

Welcome to SGL.

Planetary AP is best done with web-cams (the cheap option) or specialist planetary cameras. Video mode of DSLR can work as well, but these avis are often compressed, which is NOT what you want. On the plus side: the DSLR is very suitable for lunar images, and even cheap web-cams can give really nice results with a little practice.
