Hi, what is your scope too? Depending on your scope a dslr will not be that good for planetary imaging, except for the moon and maybe the sun (with a proper filter of course). But it sure can be done, specially with the aid of a barlow lens. 

A good imaging software is apt: https://www.ideiki.com/astro/Default.aspx and there is also backyard nikon: https://www.otelescope.com/store/product/4-backyardnikon-10-premium-edition-otl-byn-p/

The new version of APT now caters for Nikon camera's and is free, brilliant software..
