Time for some Planetary

Good afternoon all,

I'm going to do some planetary imaging what should I get for the existing setup?

I have a 8 inch newton on a eq6 with 550d 2inch extension and badder MPCC I think my magnification is around 35 or very close at prime focus.

Can I just add a 4x 2inch barlow to my prime focus setup for DSO and amplifier it off 35x...? That would give me 160x then I could crop and zoom 640x480 to get more detail again..

I do have a webcam modified also, but I was also give the crop mode a bash on the 550d. Whats going to give me a good size planet with good detail, any advice would be more than welcome to help me enter this new realm mainly for Jupiter

Thanks
Dan
