Here's a picture of Mars I took afocally on 11-11-07. The angular diameter was about 13.3 arcseconds for reference. You can see some smudging and lightening where the polar ice cap was. I shrunk this to 1/4 the original size because it was too big. This was a single shot.

I also stacked using the video function of the camera but I've archived all of those I think... Just to give you an idea of what you can do - Jupiter will be over 3.5 times bigger this opposition so you should be able to get something pretty good...
