Hi:

I've been trying like the devil to get a vid (or pic) of Jove using my scope (as below) and my Barlow tube, but am having no success at all - very, very difficult to get the planet in my cam's sight and when I do get it for a split-second or so, it's blurry/huge.

Can anyone give me some pointers on this? I hope Mike Salway is logged on, cos I've got a similar setup to his.

Should I take out the Barlow lens?

I have got some reasonably good shots of the Moon (who hasn't....?) but getting Jupiter on vid or photographed is turning out to be almost impossible!

Thanks!
