You are right that for lunar and planetary, you don't even need a tracking mount. I took this image of Eratosthenes crater with a #60mm unguided telescope. I did use the #NexImage Celestron camera which is a converted web cam. I wrote software that could track the non guided image across the fov, and could then align and combine frames.

Eratosthenes crater imaged with a non-motorized 60mm telescope. About 60 stacked frames made up the final image.
