I know. I could see the bands too, even with the 25mm eyepiece! Not these days though; it was last year when the weather conditions were better.
Details don't only depend on magnification of course; they also depend on aperture because if your scope doesn't have enough aperture the images will be dark at high magnifications. Last year I managed to take a couple of pics with our scope where even the great red spot was visible, although not very clear. I mean, it is a nice scope to get started.
