It also looks quite blown out - over exposed. Was the gain too high. If you are stacking frames, then you need to reduce the image brightness.
Were seeing & transparency OK at the time?

It certainly wasn't completely in focus but it was focussed as much as possible. I.e. focussing in and out both made it worse. Unless it was supposed to be somewhere else completely where it would also have been in focus??
It was very overexposed. However I turned both gain and brightness to zero and moved up from there, it didn't help, just got a dimmer white disc. Seeing and transparency were say 7 out of 10, I could see the bands on Jupiter with a 15mm eyepiece.
