First DMK images of Jupiter

Hi All,
Had my first attempt at Jupiter with my DMK 21AU04.AS.
Since I can no longer get at Saturn I had a go at Jupiter last night. The seeing was very good, but it mostly is like that out here in Broken Hill.

This image is with my 16" F4.5 Newt with a Meade 140 2x triplet Barlow.
I am use to a very heavy processing regime for the storms on Saturn but treated my images from last night in a much gentler manner.

With a bit of fine tuning of my technique I think the DMK will produce stunning images of Jupiter. It is just so bright, and shows up some crap on my Barlow that I didn't realize was on it.

Any thoughts on cleaning the Barlow, I have an Orion lens cleaning kit from Bintel but am not to keen to rush in.

Regards
Trevor
