O.K. Markus, firstly, for the method you are using, the results are pretty
good.
Secondly, eyepiece projection, which is what you were using, is the least
preferred method, as it produces the lowest quality images generally, and
will exhibit any aberrations inherent in the particular eyepiece type. To get high power it would be much better to use just a 5x barlow without an eyepiece. If you don't want to fork out for a 5x barlow use a $15 webcam from Kmart with a 2x barlow. There are too many points to address here. Jupiter is large and bright, and Mars
is small but bright, whereas Saturn whilst fairly large is nothing like as bright as Jupiter or Mars, whose light is concentrated in a small area.
The light edge on Mars is the polar ice cap.
