That is a reasonable attempt, no doubting that it is anything other than Jupiter. It is not easy to get a lot of detail using the afocal method on an Alt/Az mount. When I have tried to image Jupiter I have had to experiment with the settings to get the best results possible. I have found that reducing the onboard exposure setting helps a lot. Even then I still have to modify the image when it has been transferred to the computer to extract more detail.
It looks like your image was taken on Jan 4th around 2130 hrs EST (1130 hrs UT). These screen grabs are from Starry Night and will give you an idea what Jupiter's banding looked like when the photo was taken.
