Jupiter through an FSQ106 31-12-12

Not an ideal scope for planetary work, but worth a try while I wait for the deep space camera. This is my first real attempt at planetary imaging; I've been waiting to use the scope for more suitable targets, but still awaiting arrival of the SBIG ccd. So I figured with Jupiter being relatively close, why not try collecting some planet data?

Details

Optics: FSQ106EDX with 5x Powermate ~F/25
Capture: ASI120MM with Astronomic LRGB type 2c, ~50sec capture each channel @63fps
Process: Registax and Gimp (LRGB combine via layers)

Now I just need to figure out what scope to get for planetary imaging
