When best time to view Jupiter ?

I have been up last 3 days between 4-40am to 6-00am to see Jupiter
all I get is a very bright object with very very little or no suface features ..can see the 4 moons ok ..... was using an 8" reflector 2x barlow ..15mm eye piece. What else do i need that might help to see surface features better ... or wait till a differant time of year ? I'm in Melbourne East
