My First Image- What's the Yellow spot

Attached is my first attempt at astro imaging using the Meade LPI. Its Jupiter naturally, taken from my suburban backyard on a night when the seeing was average. I was pleased with this first attempt, but what are those yellow spots. I didn't know Jupiter had a great yellow spot! I assume it is just an overexposed area that came out yellow. Is there a way to fix it in image processing software? Any comments or suggestions are welcome.

Alex,
I think by adding a barlow and increasing magnification you can solve the exposure problem and increase the resolution as well.
Hang in there and keep trying and sharing your results
