With a full rotation of Jupiter taking less than 10hrs, during a winter's night you would be able to see a full rotation take place. Now, if you are expecting to see it spin like a top right before your eyes, no. Its movement will still be relatively slow to see in a short space. But, if you are patient, and have a feature like the GRS, over the space of an hour you will begin to notice the shift in position of the GRS. This I have noticed with my 5" SCT, so in an 8" this won't be a problem.
There have been some enterprising IIS members who have put in the hard yards to produce a time lapse film of a rotating Jupiter and Saturn during a whole winter's night session.
Shadow transits move fast across the disk too. These can be quite fascinating to view as they approach the limb of the planet and are about to 'fall off' the planet. There are various programs that give the dates and times for these shadow transits too. All the transits I've seen however, have been just from chance viewing and nothing to do with following up from tables and programs - I'm happy to just let luck and chance coincide for me,
