Hi Grafted,
through a 10" Dob I think you will have a very good view of Saturn and it's rings. At the moment it's rising at about 1:00 am in the North East in your location.
There are a lot of great objects out at the moment that are quite easily seen through a 10". I would suggest to get some stars charts and go hunting for some of the brighter one to get your eye in. There is a handy star chart at skymaps.com which show a lot of the brighter objects for viewing.
If you get a chance, go along to your Astonomical club/society you will also find a lot of helpful people there to steer you in the right direction.

cheers
