I have done a little bit of drift fishing for planetary videos using a basic Dob and other scopes using a ZWO planetary camera and putting the ser files though PIPP do deal with blurred or partial captures and then AS3 and Registax 6.
Others here on this site have had some good outcomes with this method or variations thereof. It can be a bit time consuming. I found that some planetary altitudes seemed much easier than others for getting captures.
Jupiter will spend more time higher in the sky as opposition approaches. However I never balanced the scope properly or optimized smoothness of motion of the mount so I expect you can do much better.
When the moon is out it makes an easier target for an initial focus.
