When I was in High School I was able to just see Jupiter's red stripes with a 4.5" reflector telescope (I forget which eyepiece I was using, I suspect the lower power one as it had a wider field of vision). The Galilean moons (Io, Europa, Ganymede, & Callisto) looked like bright points of light. Saturn was way prettier, too pretty to have a masculine name. (makes me wonder what the Romans would have named that planet if they had telescopes)
