Default New need advice



If you magnify too much you lose everything. Lack of clarity, small
field of view and unsteadiness all spoil what you hoped to see by
making everything bigger. So forget 3 x Barlows. You will see far more
with two or three good, but inexpensive eyepieces (like Plossls) at
lower powers. 120x, 90x and 35x is a good spread of magnifications.
Using something like 7.5mm, 10mm and 25 or 26mm. I'd start with a 10mm
Plossl to get an immediate improvement over the Huygenians you have
now.
