Checking out Jupiter

Hi everyone.

Tonight I was checking out Jupiter and I could see some of its moons. Well, I presume they were. There was two either side of it and I understand it has six in total.

Anyway, my question is this. The view was ok /clear enough looking through both a 10mm and 25mm eyepiece on their own. When I used the 2x Barlow lens with the eyepieces it made it very blurry and no matter how I tried, I could not focus it. All I got was a blur of white with some red and green through it. One was ok through the Barlow (I think it was the 25mm) but the 10mm through the Barlow was useless.

Is this normal?
