Can I do planetary imaging with a 14" Dob?

[emadmoussa]

I'm getting a synscan Flextube 14" Dob, and was wondering about how effective it'll be when it comes to planetary imaging? I'm not an imager, but I'd like to have the option...

Does anybody have sample photos produced by a similar set-up?

Yes you can. No personal images to support this.  ?

I would imagine that, even if your dob cannot normally be used for photography (due to lack of back-focus) it will still be fine for planets (since you are almost definitely going to be using a barlow).

Purely based on aperture, I would imagine a 14" to be a very capable planetary setup

Assuming your pixel scale is 0.18" ppx (just under half of rayleigh criterion, which I have heard is generally a good point for planets though I haven't tested) you would have mars at a size of roughly 130x130 pixels.
