Yes, you will probably only need to slacken it off a tiny bit.
You will see the two cloud belts and some of the moons of Jupiter
at any magnification. [only as specks like stars at low powers]. At higher powers the moons become tiny discs. [ black when passing in front of the planet].You won't see detail on Saturn at low power, and not much at higher power. Saturn is fairly bland.
You should see the Cassini division in it's rings at moderate power.
Non go to Dobs are not ideal for planetary use, as high powers are normally used, and it is hard to keep a planet in view at high power.
