Collimation Question??

I am having real problems with seeing small bright objects. The mooms of Jupiter have two " tails" as do stars, ie they are not pin points of light. I have collimated till I have run out of ideas, all the rings match up and the star test gives beautiful concentric circles.

I can easily go to 400x on the moon but the cloud bands in Jupiter at anything over 80x have no detail, I used to be able to see some of the festoony bits once.

Are my eyes stuffing up??

Any ideas please.
