The 2X barlow will make the image bigger, but by how much will also depend on the focal length. Effectively it should 'double' the magnifcation. That it should look the same might be a factor of the quality of you EP, or the scope, or atmospheric conditions.
Hi again

Its a 6' Dob, i did try it looking at some leaves on a tree just then and it did bring the image closer just didnt seem to make a difference with Jupiter.
