First Jupiter with my new ZWO ASI290MC

Took my SkyWatcher 14" goto up to John's Hill Reserve in the Dandenongs last night. Very clear, very cold, and also started to get a bit windy for imaging, but at least there weren't any clouds :-)
I have installed FireCapture 2.6 on my Mac laptop, and that performed really well.
After sorting out some focus issues at prime focus, I took some images of Jupiter, Saturn, and Mars, and I then used a 2x barlow to take images of Jupiter and Saturn.

Now I have to learn how to process them.

I used SER Player to view the files and export the best section of each capture as a set of jpg images.
I have used WineBottler to create a Registax app, and have used this on my Mac to stack 300 images of Jupiter to create this image.
No adjustments in Photoshop yet.

What could I be doing better?
Thanks, Peter
