Interesting: I was just looking at both of them in my cheap scope, magnified only 80 times. I can make out a few stripes on Jupiter. Through several days observation, I see that the plane of the four Gallilean moons’ orbits isn’t exactly parallel with earth’s. Not sure if I can just make out a moon or two by Saturn, but the rings sure show distinctly. The planets are less than 30 degrees apart, but they’re lower to the southern horizon than Jason and Paige are looking.
