I then found Saturn... all I can say is WOW!! From about 70x - 170x magnification the rings of Saturn (Cassini division) were clearly visible. The more magnification (must have been a good 'seeing' night) the clearer the rings got; also clearly visible was Titan, one of Saturn's moons.
This is one of, if not the most amazing thing I have ever seen with my own eyes... WOW.... just WOW...

Wait until you find Omega Centauri and Tarantula!
