Question re view of Jupiter last night

Hi all

As the sky was clear last night, I grabbed my son's toy (about 50mm aperture) telescope and looked up at Jupiter from here in Melbourne. Obviously with such a small telescope the view was limited but I saw what appeared to be 4 dots in a row immediately to the right of Jupiter. Would these have been Jupiter's moons? I would not have expected to see Jupiter's moons with such a small telescope. Was anyone looking at Jupiter last night?

cheers Peter
