Hi Asi,
With webcams for $100 or so giving us better planet photos than professional observatories had a decade ago, maybe we're just expecting too much

...so.... I've attached a photo of Jupiter from my much treasured 1962 copy of "Handbook for Telescope Making" - taken by an American amateur with state of the art eyepiece projection techniques on a 12" reflector.

Might make you feel better.
