Thanks for the reply, it’s making more sense now about your ghosting of Saturn’s view and the possible reasons behind it
1/ Moon glare
2/ Low altitude ( long angular projection through the atmosphere with air pollution , heat convection causing turbulence etc )
3/ Budget type eye pieces with subjective internal reflective coatings
As mentioned before try observing Saturn at high altitude with no moon around and I’m sure it will be clearer
Based on your 150P dob ( focal length 1200mm )
Your 25mm eye piece will provide 48x magnification
Your 10mm eye piece will provide 120x magnification
With good seeing conditions overhead you could potentially observe the planets and the moon up to 200x magnification ( 6mm eye piece ) with your telescope, however with high magnification you loose clarity and detail so your 10mm eye piece is ideal for planetary and lunar observation at this early stage of your astronomical journey.
Good luck !
