Focus on Jupiter

Hello, I just bought a Nikon D5000, hooked it into my C6-RGT Refracter and took some pic,s of Jupiter. I think they call this "Prime focus" when you use your telescope as your lens. Anyway the Pic,s came out real small, No detail at all, So I put a 2x Barlow in and then I couldn't get Jupiter in focus, I'm using a Crayford focuser and the tube just won't come out far enough to get Jupiter into focus. What's up? any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Steve
