Unlike the Moon images, these are full size pictures.  Planets are very far away, and even at a focal length equivalent to about 577x, they're not all that big.  The images are mostly black space; I've trimmed the ones you see here.

This is a collage of my very first two attempts (both captured at f/10).
Can you guess which was first?

Here's an interesting picture.  During processing I noticed 3 faint blobs, so I noted their location and compared it a chart of the Saturn system at the time..  I had imaged some of Saturn's moons!  I had to really crank up the brightness to bring them out, but they're there!
