Thanks eveyone for your kind words, as John stated I must be vigilant so at about 1 am this morning the skies were fairly good so I had another try.
Below are my results, the first using a 2x barlow which came out fairly good and the second was using a 3x barlow. I think the conditions were not up to the 3x but it still conducted itself pretty good (seeing around 70% and some jet stream and average transparency). Both images were around 10000 frames using my DBK21.
I attempted using my Canon 450d but by results did not seem anywhere near as good. I thinking at this point that the DLSR is fantastic for DS but still has nothing on a ccd for planetary imaging.

Thanks for looking
