Great snap of Jupiter!

Hello everybody! I am fairly new to planetary photography. I finally decided to get out and persist with Jupiter since i have always captured crappy overexposed pictures. So i finally managed to capture Jupiter with its cloud bands! Still need help with making the pictures clearer and more definitive.
Any help is appreciated!

Any reason for choosing such a wide field shot? What equipment/setup were you using?

Oh, I know how exciting it is when you can first capture the cloud bands. It just happened to me too not too long ago. I then stacked a photo with the cloud bands and without the moons and one without the cloud bands and the moons.
Have you got a photo editing program?

I didnt really choose to, it just happened haha.
I was using a 130mm reflector on a non tracking EQ mount, and i captured it with my Sony A57 DSLR.
Both images were taken at:
1/40
ISO = 100
