Hand held photo in SW 120 with Ethos 6mm eyepiece and Televue Big Barlow x2. Benefits of a tracking mount are ability to see planets at high magnification and keep in field of view.

Notice the “apparent” chromatic aberration with blue at one edge of the planet and red at the other?
It isn’t chromatic aberration, it is caused by atmospheric refraction because the planet is so low. The light goes through the atmosphere at an angle and it acts like a prism. You can correct it in Registax.
