Whats the best software for this camera?

When capturing Jupiter is it best to use a Barlow or camera zoom or enlarge with post processing?

There's lots of capture software. I use sharpcap2 or firecapture.

Use a barlow or powermate to effectively increase the focal length of your set up; don't use the digital zoom or rely on blowing the image up once processed.

Good luck.

Hi James - I had to use a barlow with the Orion CF - I used it with no lens although I could use it with one to magify - Ill try again tomorrow night.

Its just that Ive seen some great large images on here but I cant seem to grab one.

You should have better luck with the 200P rather than the 80mm refractor.  The longer focal length will give a larger image on the camera chip.  You can also try with the Barlow - that should give a decent sized image with plenty of detail.
