1st Jupiter with DSLR

I really did not have good conditions, it seemed clear at 5:30am, I got focused on a star, and waited for Jup to clear the tree, Stellarium told me it would be 6:08...wrong, I did discover up has to be almost 50* to clear the tree, by that time it was 6:30 and daylight and clouds were a comin!
I couldn't figure out why is was so fuzzy, like a double image, no matter what I did with the focus, then realized I still had the mask on....doh! So that didn't go well. The seeing was horrid, but once the clouds flew by I got a couple of vids.
Anyway, here is my best Jupiter ever, all I had tried before this was afocal digital camera.
Meade 10"SCT
Canon XS with 2x barlow
EOS Movie Record @ 5x
Registax and Fitswork
