Was able to catch my first GRS capture. 
I think the picture would have been much better if I had a better camera than this Synta Acuter Digi. camera. the temp dropped quite quickly too.
I'm not entirely sure if the airflow I could see(Jupiter wobbling out of shape) was airflow in the angle of the sky; or air flowing around the mirror/tube.
Not exactly sure how to process that well,..constructive criticism is welcome.

Not a bad effort, do you have a cooling fan, at that sort of magnification cooling your primary is critical. If the temp of the mirror is to far above ambient the images will look like there is bad seeing.
