Jupiters moons sighted but no red spot or bands
Hello,
Am Chuffed - I just saw Jupiter and 4 tiny moons on my 76mm x 350mm Dobsonian ($50 from Aldi).
Was puzzled that even though I could see tiny specks of light for the moons I couldn't see the bands or the red spot on Jupiter, arent they much bigger than the moons ? Jupiter was a small white disc.
4mm and 20mm eyepieces and a 2x Barlow lens.
What am I likely to be doing wrong ?
Bill
