Chris! Ripper!!
Good to see you back into it mate! You've done really well here, for an untracked image it shows a LOT of detail.. I remember the days of nudge nudge nudging the dob chasing jupiter.. its difficult, however you've done very well indeed! I agree with Graeme, a tracking platform might be the go! although its a bit more expensive than 5x powermate, I think your image would benefit more from tracking than it would from more magnification. Remember, you're limited to the amount of frames you can capture at this focal lenght, if you extend it more, you'll be capturing less frames, at a higher F/number, hence requiring longer exposures to properly fill the histogram, which will ultimately result in more smearing of the image...
You're on the right track mate!
Alex.
