I've been looking back through my archives to happier times and with the hindsight of modern software and methods have reprocessed my best ever image sets of Jupiter, taken on a particularly still October night in 2011 when that year Jupiter was at a close approach to Earth and for once well placed in UK skies. I could only run at 30fps back then with the software and laptop that I was using without risking too many frames being dropped. Jupiter was remarkably steady and most of my data was usable. This is a derotated RGB stack at 22:16 UT covering from 22:06 to 22:21.
