I doubt that Saturn will even be a disk. Probably look just like a star. Jupiter will most likely be a small disk with a couple of moons as specks.

Now that I think about it, the observing guide has a picture that shows a simulated view of Jupiter. It's fairly small, but you can see it's bands, with the moons as bright specks.
I have not seen any pictures of how Saturn would supposedly look.

For $15.00 (+ shipping) I'll be giving it a shot.

I posted that before I read the article. It says you can see the rings at x50 but I can’t imagine it looking like more than a dot with a bulge around it.
