Webcam - testing the limits


During my allocation of 1 clear night for August I had another go at Jupiter using my webcam with dismal results. I still can't get anything other than a featureless disc.

When I wind exposure and brightness up to max I get the attached image of Jupiter with 3 moons. This gives me some hope that I am just doing it all wrong and need to find the right settings.

Or, maybe I'm just looney and should stick to the moon.

When I wind the exposure and brightness back the moons go but I can't get any surface detail. Any suggestions about how to go about this
