An EQ platform will definitely make life easier for you when using the webcam. Mike used one for ages and had great success.

2 2x barlows would probably give you around 4x but you are adding a lot of glass piggy backing the barlows, so there'll be more light loss, and achievein a sharp image will be more difficult.

Thanks heaps Al for your hints. I am certainly looking forward to give it a go again. I will take the scope out in the late afternoon to let it cool down first.
