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...
Cant wait to see Jupiter that big.That photo of mars is good Can distinctly see one big darkish patch and a little whitening towards the pole.

Thanks, orestis.
