I've only really used a Televue 76mm refractor on Jupiter over the last 3-4 years. I've found that Jupiter placed higher in the sky is a obvious plus and observing in the twlight hours both everning and morning really helps and have seen the GRS, moon transits, the main equitorial belts, and some diffinition in the main two belts when seeing has been optimum.
Based on reviews etc, I puchased the Baader Moon & SkyGlow Filter which I found useful in enhancing the features of Jupiter that are in reach of a 76mm refractor.
Mount used includes both the Televue Telepod and Dismount DM6. Most used eyepiece is the Televue 3-6mm Zoom which is very useful for dialing in the magnification. I usually find circa 120x to be optimum.
