Hi Mike, when you say you saw it 'shining like a star', with what eye-piece was that? The 10mm EP should be good enough to make out the details of Saturn (rings, band) as well as its moons.
Please don't get me wrong but were you actually pointing at Saturn and not some other object?
Have you checked collimation?
Perhaps after checking above try the 10mm in the Barlow and see if that makes any difference.
By the way, great that you can share astronomy with your girlfriend
cheers
Adam
