Reading these posts has rekindled my interest in finding the time by Jupiter's moons. After Frank helped me learn to do lunars, I thought about observing the Galilean moons, but never got around to it.
Now I have a 120mm refractor (pictured below) with a maximum useful magnification of about 280x. I have seen the moons many times, I just haven't timed their eclipses.
If I do find my bag of round tuits, I'll certainly post my results here.
Cheers!
