I was out last night about midnight and had a quick look at Jupiter in the 20" at 196x and it was the best I have ever seen the ol' boy! The Red Spot was very clear with festoons of turbulence all around, the bands had clear structures, fainter bands all popping out and 2 moons sitting on either side just outside the planets disc.
Went back about 10 mins later for another look and just crud, jumping all over, waves of heat shimmering through the image could just make out that the GRS was there but that was all.
Seeing can have a lot more to do with the view than anything else and patience with planets is the key.
