Well fellas, after getting home after taking the family out for dinner and a few beers in I noticed it's an nice clear night so let the telescope cool down for about half an hour and gave Saturn another crack.

AWESOME!

I think I need a Barlow 2x just to make it a bit bigger but the kids (and even the wife who now thinks I'm a major nerd) couldn't believe what they were seeing!

Thanks heaps for all the advice, this is definitely something I think will take over my nights.

I agree that I don't think I will use the filters much or at all. I have a green one for the moon but much prefer the bright white look when it's properly focused. Getting a set of reasonable eye pieces for this scope will probably be the way to go then when I upgrade I'll focus on really good ones for that scope.
