Help with 350D settings for Jupiter pics

Hi
I have been trying to get some pics of Jupiter but am not having much success.
I have a 200mm newt on an EQ5 goto mount and using a 2x teleview barlow with a 12mm or 6mm plossl EP.
My question is whether it is best to use the highest resolution of the camera or to drop it down a bit.
The exposure times are on less than 1 second on 200 ASA setting so movement blur should not be too much of an issue. This comes down to around 0.25s on 400 ASA.
I think that I need to get a focuser with fine focus control as well as focus seem hard to get just right.
Im just startingl to learning to use Avistack as well but haven't had much time to try to get it working well.
Any suggestions on settings for the camera would be great, the 350D is inmodified and not likely to be modified as it is the family camera.

cheers

Chris
