focus problem or just bad seeing ?

gday all

we went oustside lastnight and had a peek at saturn it wasnt that low at the horizon had a look at 155x mag no problem getting it in focus however we barlowed it 2x and it wouldnt really focus and i was wondering if that could be a problem with the scope (we Collimated it last night aswell) or just to put it down to seeing conditions? i realise it could be a number of things but any theories ?


plus it moved out of fov rather quick as well. jupiter was cool last night was impressed with the grs as well as the transit of europas moon cool sight
plus iam still getting a smidge of tails on jupiters moon. i checked the secondary for "pinching" seemed ok so i suppose it could be the primary ?

any thoughts ?


ps forgot to try jupiter
