How good are the views supposed to be. We saw jupiter and moon but no Red dot or even the lines.

Those are hard to see. You would need clear skies and high magnification to see that level of detail with your scope. You can make out the bands but not as crisply as the lovely images you see on the internet. Use stellarium or similar tool to get an idea of what to expect in terms of size. You can set the scope, eyepiece, barlow and the bortle rating in stellarium.
