Try a shorter exposure time, and you will start to see details on the planet. (the moons will disappear, though). you can always merge two exposures to show the planet and the moon. To get more focal length, try a 5x televue powermate, and attach your dslr to that. This will give you the same effect as a telescope with 5 times the focal length.
