Difficulty with Mars

Morning all!
I am a noob still with AP and am having difficulty with Mars.

I can track it no problems but the image is only the size of a pinhead on my screen. Setup is Heq5Pro, ASI120mc-s and Sharpcap.

After taking a 3 min video and loading it into Registax or Autostakkert, the processing fails. ASK2 says "all frames were rejected try cropping the image size" and Registax just fails all together.

So I tried adding a Televue 2 x barlow into the image train, hoping that would provide a larger image on the sensor, but then was unable to get focus. I couldn't even find it on the screen. Even on the moon, I could see light (it was HUGE) but I couldn't wind the focuser out enough to get focus.
So obviously I'm missing a few things here.
Could anyone pass on there experience with these issues.
Greatly appreciated.


I have attached an image of my image train with the barlow. The barlow isn't in the focuser properly as i was trying to to get a few more cm of range from it.
