John, yeah Jupiter's rapid rate of rotation does limit your time. Saturn can be gotten away with it, as detail in the belts is not really all that visible most of the time. I would suggest though, go to about 40 ish on 6 and work your way back through all six wavelets. The upper ones eek out fine detail. If you don't use them you run the risk of missing out on detail. However, it does relate to how many frames and focus.

Thanks Rob, like I say not sure about the optics at this stage. Time will tell. Jupiter will show me the way. At 70 odd degrees the seeing will be better than planets at 40 degrees. Everyone in the know say the 9.25 is the scope of choice, still think that the mewlon would be better still. Now it boils down to skill, seeing, cooling and camera.
