Jowel, hi my primary scope is an 8" LightBridge and once you get in a little experience there's is lots out there to keep you amazed. However it is good to remember that 'large' is not going to happen with Jupiter or any of the planets. You will certainly be able to fill your ep, on a good night with high magnification, but 'large' it won't be.

Detail galore including the GRS but not what I would call large. The moon is large and you can spend hours or a lifetime exploring all the nooks and crannies. But Jupiter, or Saturn while you will see incredible detail with an 8 ie. a couple of weeks back I saw the shadow that was cast on Saturn by the rings you will not appear really large.

Brian
