I was actually going to come here and ask a similar question. So thanks OP for the thread. But it leads me to another question, does Jupiter always look like crap from Melbourne? Im about 11km from the city and all i can see are 2 stripes on jupiter through a 12" dob. Saturn looks amazing, mars i can make out some sifferent texture but Jupiter I cannot seem to get any better than 2 stripes. The moons are large however, more than a pin prick.
Today I tried a 6mm TMB Plan II and it looked nice, but only two stripes. Is it me been newb or is it a combo of bad viewing area plus low to the horizon and user error?
