My first ever shot of Saturn.

Hi all,
This is the first image I have ever taken of Saturn!
It was with my Mak and an LPI. Now the seeing was very poor and smoke in the air.
With a 3x Barlow as well.

15 images stacked with Meade LPI image software. Exposures 2 sec each.

But can I ask does the exposure need to be longer with more gain? Or shorter?
Or with less gain shorter exposures?

Sorry to show such a poor photo but I needed to, so someone can say apart from the obvious seeing etc what I maybe doing wrong re the gain etc.

Thanks in advance.
