Jupiter, Aug 28th @f/20

This time I gave it a try with other camera settings.
Here's what I did different:
a) decreased the exposure time to 1/30sec for each channel;
b) limited the recording time to 45 sec per channel;
c) kept the gain at 438 (R&G) and boosted it up to 591 for the Blue channel - IC Capture.

It took me just under 2´30" to get a full RGB data set, compared to the more than 3 minutes previous settings: limited the capture to 2000 frames, which would end up at a 1´06" per channel, with a total time of around 3´30", including manual filter changing and gain/exposure time adjusting for Blue.
It seems it pays off...
