Thanks all - esp Iceman.
I'm glad I asked now.
I should point out that I did get a look at Saturn through that suicidal magnification (I did say I was pushing it - experimenting), but it was a tad discoloured - blue one side, red the other!! Took me about 30 minutes and I was sweating by the end of it - at 11pm.
Also ditched the barlow and used 25, 10 and 4mm eyepieces to good effect. Exactly as you specified Mike - you must be a mind reader. Also threw on a blue filter which gave a really sharp image.
Don't think I'll invest in a zoom eyepiece, but wouldn't mind trying one, one day. Save my pennies for other more important equipment - new scope etc.
