I was not expecting magazines like viewing either. My disappointment is somehow "relative" to what I have been seeing so far on Saturn or even Mars. I believe I could see the bands on Saturn, on many days, with a better contrast than those on Jupiter, somehow because of Jupiter being "too bright?"
I'll keep an ey for transits!

Hi, I don't use colour filters for planetary viewing, I have used a number of them including different brands and I'm just not convinced about them, maybe why they are only 10 bucks a pop and I try to avoid extra pieces of glass where possible. Occasionally I will use a neutral density filter on the moon and Jupiter only to reduce a bit of glare, but that's about it. I find I see more features on these targets with the neutral density filter than I ever have with a coloured filter.
