Saturn should be more than a faint dot if you use your 10 EP combined with the 2x Barlow. Saturn is small but bright even when using the lowest power eyepiece on my 12" Dob.
Mars is a hard object to hit with too much magnification. I will try it but usually tend to back it off and stick with a sharper view.
What is the focal length of you scope?
How is the collimation on your scope?
