Nice one CJ.
The 3x barlow will be harder to focus than the 2x you'll find.
It's worth taking the time, and taking as many AVIs as you can at slightly different focus points, one of them will be bound to have frames at a sweet spot.
Trying to judge focus on the laptop is tough, as atmospherics play such a big part, you could be staring at the screen for hours and not think you are in focus, so eventually you just start recording.

CJ ditto to what the other guys said bout focusing - also stacking as many frames as possible can sharpen an image as it reduces random noise. With the Phillips and saturn you can take a 5 or 6 mins video. well done again
