Thanks Iain, AEAJR and BeanerSA for your replies.

Thanks about the advice about the barlow AEAJR I didn't even know that barlows came in 3X so something for me to consider down the track.

I probably will try a 5mm eyepiece Iain in the near future so thanks also. When I first viewed Jupiter thru the Tasco it was fantastic because I wasn't expecting to see much, so I guess I just expected alot more from the Dob. Even with the Barlow there doesn't seem to be much difference so far but I have only viewed Jupiter a couple of times so far and on both those occasions it had been very hot the day before.

Thanks for the compliments BeanerSA and about Dobson's hole.. I'm going to have to name it "Dobson's Sink Hole" when observing too close to the horizon.
