With a 10 hour day, Jupiter spins rapidly. You don't get 600,000 stackable images in a night of shooting Jupiter. More than five hours would result of shots with the great red spot in front and behind the planet. Something's janky here.

The photographer says that he derotates the images with WinJUPOS. It won't allow an all night session to be stacked but maybe a couple hours.
