Bert,

Hopefully this will help: I have two binos - 10x50 and 16x80. Both easily show Jupiter's four brightest moons. Both show Jupiter as a disk. As far as visible banding, the 10x50s fall short and it's iffy with the 16x80s (I can almost detect the two main bands - more by color than by shape, but nothing to write home about). Of course the view through the 80s is superior overall to that of the 50s. Still, a good 20x80 pair would no doubt perform even better.
