Thanks for you comments Trevor and Mike.

I'm not sure what is happening here. I shot it at 15fps, had to crank the gain a brightness a bit to brighten the image. The avi had some banding and if I used all the frames (~4500), the banding becomes more pronounced after using wavelets. You should have seen the processing results previous to this... vertical banding as well! I've managed to play around and improve the result, but it is all black magic, and I am a rube in the processing game. Part of my problem is that I'm not sure what settings to use with the camera for best effect, and I adjust this and that, while not knowing what I'm doing.
I didn't have as much of a problem @ 30fps, but the image was pretty faint and then there was the problem of bringing out the detail. Got to keep experimenting, but another problem is having clear nights more than 2 or 3 nights a month. Other than that it is the problem of having the energy to image into the early hours, processing and having to go to work.
Can't wait for Jupiter... big and bright
