But - that's not actually a bad image there, and how much black you leave around it is a matter of personal taste. I prefer smaller images with more pop. But that's the visual observer in me speaking here. For editing though, I'd agree to cropping it down a bit in Pipp. Keeps the files more manageable too.


Edit: and yes, a 2x barlow maybe
When deciding on the number of frames to take, you should factor in the rate of rotation of Jupiter. The GRS for example scoots around in about 10 hours so you will get loss of definition with longer SERs. But using close ROI settings, you can generally get frame rates of 80 fps or better so a SER of 30 seconds will still get you plenty of frames and minimise smearing of detail. Of course you can use WinJupOS to de-stretch if you wish.
