Hi Tan and Weclome to IIS. There are a few things that will make your viewing much clearer. Good collimation is essential (Your scope may have been checked and collimated by Bintel but that's no guarantee that it is still correctly collimated) as is a cooldown period before use and of course good atmospheric conditions. Don't expect to see as much detail as some of the images presented in the forum, your eyes simply aren't that sensitive and most of the Saturn images presented are composite images which have been processed to bring out detail.
