Steve, with your scope the shortest useful eyepiece will be 5mm, giving 120X. This will show the rings of saturn and jupiter will be recognisable with some bands visible...
Pushing it beyond that with a Barlow is certainly possible and the image will be larger, dimmer, softer and you won't really see any more detail.

Good luck
