Can you see the disks of the moons in the 150? Or is this the result of blurry stacking in the image?

Of course they are visible, you just need to use a larger scale.

I have a Sky Watcher DOB6" with a 153 mm aperture and 1200 mm focal length. I've tried various magnifications, but I've never seen any details on the moons.
