Back from the Dead?

Currently imaging Jupiter with the C11, TV 2x Barlow, ZWO ADC, QHY 462C.   The seeing was sorta mediocre at 1 am.   It's better.  On my current run starting at 2:45-ish am, I removed the optical window on the camera, then placed the QHY UV/IR filter at the threaded end of the TV barlow.   Since there will be a little less glass, I wonder if the image will be sharper?


[Updated:  It may be coincidence, but it appeared there was slightly more surface detail on the video footage taken WITHOUT the optical window.  I'm using the supplied QHY UV/IR blocking filter, but I'm going to try the Chroma luminance tonight.   I think I'm on to something here...]
