The belts are faint at the moment, I had a look a few days ago at 270X in a 180mm Maksutov. It takes some considerable practice before your eye becomes sufficiently accustomed to the subtle colours to see details.

Many years ago I recall the belts and the great red spot being much more vivid, but then my eyesight was probably better too.
