I discovered Sharpcap can do captures with a time limit rather than by a frame count, which is very useful to know! The best seeing was in the first minutes after I started shooting, after a few minutes thermals from an apartment block got too bad. There was thin cloud that made Jupiter disappear from the screen periodically. This might be my last Jupiter of the year - it is being lost in the twilight for me now (the south western sky is blocked for me).

30% of 6000 20ms frames stacked.

I found a good patch of seeing in a later sequence.

Still managed some decent detail there.

Thanks. I have since found adding in a Wratten#29 filter to cut out blue and green really sharpens my images.

I was about to suggest using a red filter -glad I googled wratten 29 before I posted or I would have felt silly!  You are picking up some nice detail with a small scope, keep at it! 😄

Thanks, but I think the results are more due to the camera than me... 😀
