Jupiter 13/2, 14/2 first attempts

Attached are my first attempts at photographing jupiter - on 13/2 i spent an hour or so collimating as best as I could with the seeing, couldnt get it as spot on as I would have liked.

Canon 5D MK III, Televue 4x powermate, EdgeHD 925.
Backyard EOS to grab 1000 frames - ISO 800, 1/40s
Registax to reject all up about 40% of the frames.
Wavelets in Registax then minor photoshop to adjust exposure and colour.

I suspect resolution of the DSLR is an issue to get proper sampling at f/40 on this scope...clouds stopped me from trying my QHY5L-II and IR-RGB filter set, which ill give a go next i think.

either way im stoked with what i could do, and was awesome to see Io and a shadow transit for the first time

If anyone has any suggestions for improvement please let me know!
