First up and most importantly, did you get focus spot on? I do a separate focus on a bright star first. A Bahtinov mask will help if you are focusing manually. Alternatively there are plenty of electronic tools. I use the Bahtinov mask tool in SharpCap.
Secondly, how was the seeing on the night? Poor seeing or too much moisture in the atmosphere will play havoc with the image.
I have not got these right a few times and spent ages trying to coax out a sharp image only to eventually admit defeat.
Your Jupiter appears monotone. Did you debayer the raw file when processing in PIPP?
