Hi Ian

The weather system called the "jet stream" is what is robbing you of detail on Jupiter! Have a look at this IIS link:

Adding a Barlow will not help under these circumstances; Jupiter's disc will look blurry and you won't be able to focus as the atmosphere is in such a violent state of motion that the disc of Jupiter looks like it is cleaving and shearing as you look at it on screen.

Cheers

Dennis
