I'm afraid I have no idea - my ignorance of the stars knows almost no bounds!
What I saw through the bins was an exquisitely bright star with what appeared to be an almost imperceptibly feint ring ( I guess to me it looked much like a danish "ø" without being able to see the region of the crossbar that is contained within the circle) - what my colleague thought he saw was the same distinctively bright star but with what he interpreted to be feint "mini stars" (which he concluded might have been moons) almost imperceptibly distant from the main body.
I have no idea how either of those descriptions matches to what might be considered plausible for Jupiter (obv not rings!!).
