As for the barlow, what one are you using? Some of the lower quality ones don't have a high enough level of optics in them to pick up the fine details.

I have an Orion "Shorty" 2x Barlow, which seems to work fine for visual use. The more I think about it, I think the main problem was probably that I was trying to focus visually in less than optimum seeing conditions, so the image was wobbling on the screen quite a bit. Next time, I'll try getting focus on an adjacent star with my Bahtinov mask, and then go back to the planetary target and try again.
