Use the barlow with your camera on the Moon, and see what happens (do the moon so you can check on things like "can my scope focus on the camera with a barlow". Also, at that level, you might need to change your tracking to "lunar". For the Nexstar, It should be in a menu, maybe "Menu" "Telescope" "Tracking Rate" "lunar" "enter". Otherwise the Moon will start to blur at high magnification.

Then try Jupiter again, at maybe 1/10th the exposure time that you used before.
