I'm not an avid observer like JohnB but I remember two oppositions of Mars ago I saw fine granualation in the markings on Mars in my 340mm F5 with newly fitted Dobdriver : finer detail than anything I have ever seen with a larger non-driven telescope. This detail was invisible when I tried hand tracking. I don't feel I need to conduct a formal scientific study to satisfy anyone else of my observations..
