Monitor your planetarium software for a coming moon shadow transit across Jupiter. Those close to the equator can often be spotted because of the contrast between shadow and atmosphere. Those closer to the poles are a bit harder to see. And if you monitor it for an hour or so you can see the movement! That's worth trying with your scope.
I just checked - there should be a good Io shadow transit tomorrow night (20th) from about 7:30pm to 9:30pm UTC+10 hours - If I've read Jupiter 2 software correctly.
