This is what you'll get with your current set up and Jupiter. A 2X Barlow doesn't make much difference - you'd have to REALLY crank up the magnification like a 5X Barlow...and as you see, it's still tiny.

Your rig really isn't suited to planetary. It's a wide-field/diffuse nebulae setup.

EDIT: IGNORE the scope size - it makes no difference anyway, as it's the FL we need to talk about
