Thank you all for your replys, I'll grab an extension tube Monday...
I picked up a EQ3 Synta EQ mount at the same time (today), unfurtunatly when I got home and tryed to set it up there was a whole bunch of bits missing, so I'll have to go back to Andrews on Monday and pick up the missing bits...
I have a couple of photography tripods, one of which is what I was using to try out the tube tonight, managed to get some good views of Jupiter in between the clouds!
Thanks again to all for your replies, very quick, and to the point!
I'm off to Tassie next week for holiday, dark sky's here I come!!
