Surely you mean "to see anything but clouds", right?

Nope! They got to see two cloud actually! A second set of images exists from Keck Observatory with the other cloud.

The thick atmosphere isn't cloudy, just dense with methane.

I'm not 100%, but the clouds are exciting I think because they demonstrate seasonal changes.
