Yeah my ED80 is only 440mm f/L but I've never had any success with a barlow on deep sky. It works great on the moon but not deep sky. I get better results prime focus with my C90 which is 1000mm f/L but a sloooow F11. Here in the tropics, slow kills the shot with noise. But that little cluster might just be bright enough...
