in brief

when we look at giant gas-planet Jupiter through a
small telescope, you may be looking for cloud patterns
like stirring a splash of white milk in a cup of milky
tea or coffee.

Please stir a teabag in a cup with boiling water.

add a little [or a lot ...] milk.
observe the swirling storm patterns in Jupiter's
atmosphere for several minutes.

this good practice for visual observers.
