Well done Simmo. The first PN is a great experience. Well worth coming back to the Saturn nebula as with repeated visits it will reveal more detail. Barnard's galaxy is a challenge even with dark skies as it has quite a low surface brightness. NGC 253 might be a brighter subject for light polluted skies. However, the best galaxies with lots of detail for you might be the Magellanic Clouds. Not that I'm biased or anything....
