RR - nice image!

I know how you feel , I started imaging with a ToUCam in July 2003, and it took me about 18 months to discover and squash the problems with my scope.

Your image here is much better than any of my early images. Just for comparison, here's one of my Jupiter images from april last year. At the time it was by far the best image of Jupiter I'd managed.

You're already beating that by a sizeable margin, so don't worry too much about the learning curve. The biggest killers for image quality are temperature imbalance and collimation. Understand how your scope is handling those 2 things, and how to control them and you'll be 99% of the way there.
