First Jupiter from this morning

My first attempt at Jupiter despite really bad seeing conditions this morning, but the image scale is encouraging for better results over the comming months.

Using a 12.5" f/5 with Torus Optics and NexImage web cam, my settings were Gain 40%, Gamma 15%, Brightness 50%, 1/20 exposure and 10 FPS

In all the excitement of my fist imaging session on the giant planet the image was somewhat overprocessed in Wavelets (a bad habit of mine!) before I used AstraImage. Progression as follows:

RAW IMAGE PROCESSED IN REGISTAX AND WAVELETS

THEN PROCESSED IN ASTRAIMAGE USING ME DECOVOLUTION

THEN UNSHARP MASKING

Comments and advice welcome!
