It sounds like you're hitting the speed limit of USB 2. I only use a little 5-year old netbook and it can only manage 8fps at 1280, but runs faster with lower resolution. Last year I was using 320x240 with Mars, but Jupiter is too big for that and no doubt at f/40 it's huge...
People with the faster mono cameras are no doubt using USB 3 too.
Oh btw, look for a USB traffic option and set to as low a value as possible.

Cheers Dunk. Found some hidden settings, and an article by firecapture themselves. And also read Firecaptures own help file and discovered a menu i was looking for. set USBtraffic to zero, ROI to 600 x 600, and High speed transfer on = 75 fps
. Gain i bumped up to 250, exposure 15ms. Got some good sequences i think, despite seeing being horrendous at first it quickly stabilised to half-decent. not even close to the seeing last night. oh well. a full weekend of sifting through vids ahead!
Gain i still dont understand how some people use 0. im thinking it has something to do with % and dB, where firecapture is displaying in dB / 100 or some funky thing like that
