Guidescope Problems

I am finding trying to locate a suitable guidestar in my 70mm guidescope extremely difficult for autoguiding. I am using my DMK as a camera and the only way I can bring it to focus is by using a diagonal and a 2x Barlow. The only object I can get in the FOV is Jupiter and the Moon.

Seeing that there are not many bright stars that are suitable to guide onI have to ask these questions.

Do I need a larger guidescope or am I missing something?
