Reply to comment by ManikMiner in My two year progress shooting Jupiter, using the same $300 telescope! by theillini19
The side of Jupiter definitely influences how much detail is visible, but I will say that OP's previous images were WAY over-sharpened. It made the planet's features look more strongly contrasted than they actually are. His third image is processed to look more natural.
This is a pretty close simulation of what Jupiter actually looks like through the eyepiece of a modest sized telescope: https://i.imgur.com/QZzCNoT.jpeg, contrast is much more subtle, so OP's third image is more closely aligned with what Jupiter is really like.
