A few things to try
Hello Phillip
Can you tell us a bit more about your telescope setup please? What were the atmospheric conditions like when you were taking the video files?
a few things i noticed that may help.
1/ Definitely overkill on the wavelets....i try to use as little as possible. On an image of this size, you will be limited as to the amount of processing you can do to improve a very small image to begin.
2/ The Red Green Blue RGB Alignment could do with some adjustment. You can see a red and blue halo around the edge of the image. On your tool panel on the right side of screen when you are adjusting wavelets, you will see an RGB adjust button. It allows you to move the red and blue elements of the image to re center them over the green. It may help to tidy up the image a bit.
3/ Center the object and rotate your camera so that the cloud bands are horizontal ....it always looks more pro that way.
4/Try using a 2x barlow. Bigger image on the ccd will help.
5/ One misty night on a mountain in France the great Thierry Legaut walked out of the fog and joined me for a hot chocolate....I had similar images to show him. His underlined point was, collimation, collimation, collimation.....and more hot chocolate.
6/ Try a better camera and find good control software. A good camera is actually very cheap these days.
7/ Keep trying....only time and patience pays off with this sort of thing.
