Jupiter and Saturn could not look like stars with the 10mm, let
alone with the barlow as well, so I think that you are looking at something else. It cannot be that you are not properly focused, because they would look even bigger when out of focus. When you look at both J and S with the naked eye they have a subtly different appearance to that of a star, usually no
trace of twinkling[scintillation], and a sort of creamy white.
