Probably my best to date ,last night the gods were amongst uss conditions excellent bar a bit of moisture, and the  jet stream must have been in our favour, quick process

Wow. Smashing image. I took some Jupiter images at prime focus, 8.75" and all the belts, north and south poles, just have a purplish colour with white on between. It could be that it's me not processing properly, or, single frames is not acquiring sufficient signal data to give the true colours. I couldn't de sensitize the Canon 1100d video function to get Jupiter to show its belts. It was an over exposed disk. I will try and use my qhy5Lii cc but don't know how to mount an eyepiece connected to the qhy5Lii.

To use the qhy cam put it in a 2x Barlow , find Jupiter with a 25mm eyepiece centre it then swap for a higher mag about a 6mm centre again then swap for the camera , then you should have Jupiter on your capture software(used firecapture for this one) just focus in on it , the trick is to not overexpose so the white belt burns out processing  then take a min 2k frames , process in AS2 then wavelets in registax6 , on the right hand side in registax you will see a box RGB align use that and it will correct the colour channels ?

Lovely work David - Still surprisingly tough at the moment isn't it?

Sadly it is though there's always the chance if the jet stream moves out the way , and you get a cloudless sky probably better odds winning the lottery

Great idea to centre target on the sensor. I'll have a go. Thanks.
