Hey Jimmy,
I find the blue filter (80A) helps bring out some contrast in the bands. If you have this, try it on old Jove and you will see more. Unlike the rest I think a lot of detail can be seen in a 5" scope. I have seen quite a lot with my Orion StarBlast (4.5") despite it being a "small" scope (shadow transits, Great Red Spot and festooning as well). But of course my 10" blows it away everytime. Also you will have to be patient when observing Jove and keep playing with the focuser all the time to get a sharp image as our atmosphere is seldom steady...
Hope that helps..
Darren
