Jupiter now has over 60 confirmed Moons and through a 2-3" home telescope, you can see four of them nicely. These are the Galilean Moons, as you-know-who first saw them in the early 17th century. The significance of this is that these were the first orbiting, non-Earth or Solar objects to be discovered.
The first time I saw them was exciting enough to give up the 'scope so that anyone within ear-shot could get a chance to see them, too, even though there is little-to-no color through a small lens. Everytime thereafter, there was a diminished sensed of awe as they became easier to find. Not even a 24" telescope can provide enough color to make this a constantly amazing experience, especially when you have the opportunity to see objects like star clusters, comets, colliding galaxies, or a look deep into the Virgo Cluster.. Not to mention what The Hubble has brought to us...
This is pretty much what you will see:
