Good work Suavi on picking out five moons of Saturn. Observing the Solar System moons is an area I really enjoy and spend lots of time doing. I’ve seen 29 moons in the 32”, including 9 moons of Saturn.
Enceladus can be a challenge. It is 70,000 times fainter than Saturn, and would likely need an 8” class scope or more to see through the glare of Saturn.
Mimas is inboard of Enceladus and fainter, so that moon is a real challenge, even in a 16”. There’s Hyperion which is fainter, but well separated from Saturn and not too difficult in a 16”. Phoebe was the last moon of Saturn I observed, and at magnitude 17, I’ve only ever sent it in the 32”.
