I have a 127mm Newtonian (Celestron EQ127) and a very old 60mm Tasco refractor. Jupiter is very bright and prominent right now so I've looked at it a few times with both scopes.
I thought I'd see some of the darker bands on the surface with the bigger diameter scope, but I can't. Is that normal for Jupiter from typically light poluted suburbs ?
