Sunday just gone (16/3/14) the GRS was in view for the early part of the night. We had nice skies here and I was able to use up to 300x. Nice clarity and details, it almost looked like a photo of it. I also saw the white band of clouds behind the GRS that splits the main band and two other smaller circular storms in the upper or other main band.
Without a filter it wasn't too bright, but lower power it definitely looked bright. As I magnified more (200x and 300x) it wasn't really what I'd call bright. I used a #12 Yellow and #80A Blue to bring out other details easier. But without the filter is most satisfying as it gives its natural colour.
