Also, what time of night were you observing? The best opportunity for viewing comes when Jupiter is at it's highest point in the sky - called culmination. Then there is the least amount of atmosphere to disturb and distort your viewing. Culmination is at about 3.00am in the morning at the moment. In a few months time Jupiter will be high in the sky in mid evening allowing observing at a more "civilised hout".
