Your scope has a relatively short focal length of 650mm, the spec shows a max potential magnification of 260. Using your zoom on 8mm with 3x Barlow would give 244x magnification which would probably be on or exceeding the practical maximum.

Yes, I think you maybe at your practical limit

When you are pushing the limit of your scope to its maximum magnification it’s better to settle for a slightly lower power and enjoy a better, sharper and crisper image, it will actually reveal more detail.
