Jupiter in 2014 is very low in the sky as seen from the southern hemisphere; its declination in 2014 is about +23° - this limits the sharpness and detail attainable. The situation will only slowly improve in the coming years. It will cross the celestial equator (declination 0°) in 2016, but it will take until 2020 for it to reach its most southerly point on the ecliptic.
