OT, but I disagree. Jupiter has wealth of features, barges, variously sized spots, details in belts in slightly differing hues, etc. You will always see something, even in a 50mm scope, but then you can always go deeper, seeing permitting.

I have seen details on Venus in a blue filter, no problem, similarly as various shades of cream and olive on Saturn, even the hexagon, orientation of the planet permitting. Uranus is barely 4" across and a bit uninteresting
