In regard to Saturn having some kind of ghosting view in the eye piece, what time last night were you observing ?
At 8.00pm last night Jupiter was around 65deg in Alt which is an ideal position to view where Saturn was only at 22 deg Alt which is a poor position to view.
At 22deg Alt and lower, objects in the sky ( especially planets ) may possibly cause some kind of optical aberration in the eye piece caused by many factors including the moons glare ( the moon didn’t rise in the east until 11.00 pm last night so it was quite a distance from Saturn.
Ghosting in the eye piece is generally attributed to a very small amount stray light reflecting inside the internal housing.Eye pieces on the lower end of the market with poor anti reflective coatings may cause internal reflections and ghosting
My 2 cents !
