I just checked Stellarium last Friday night and the Moon and Saturn did rise close together.
Did you observe Saturn low in the east or fairly high up in the north / north east ?
I’m tending to think your ghosting is partially the glare off the moon and budget Plössl type eye pieces which most new telescopes come with.
As long as your telescope is correctly collimated , the eye pieces are clean, and you are observing at a decent altitude ( > 45deg ) then I can only suggest it was the moon’s glare together with the budget type eye pieces that caused the ghosting.
The next clear night observe Saturn nice and high and see if the ghosting is still apparent. The moon’s glare / influence over the next week or so progressively diminishes as it phases towards new moon on the 14th June
You have a great starter scope there !
Clear skies enjoy this great hobby
