you have to remember that any of the images you see of Jupiter are taken with a Barlow lens (mostly 5x ones) and a video camera and then stacked and processed. if you have a higher mag eyepiece like say a 15mm, 10mm or even a 6mm you will see the planet a little larger and if your lucky make out the banding but don't even think your going to see Jupiter like the images you see. The seeing can kill most views of it through turbulent air to sky fogging etc. keep going at it but the best advice i can give you is seek out other like minded people to view with - track down a club or there may be some others on IIS who live near you. There is encouragement in numbers, and other gear to look at and through!
