Why this eyepiece?

✓Brings out more structure in the cloud belts
✓Still holds Jupiter and its moons inside the field

Tradeoffs

–Needs steady air — turbulence softens the view at this power

Magnification exceeds practical limit

Cloud bands and the four Galilean moons are visible in almost any telescope.
