The first image you see, i understand can be a little underwhelming, but i think its important to note.

Saturn by Astronomical terms is a very small object in the sky and it in relation to its size it is very far away (up to 1.5 billion KM ) depending on its orbit of the sun in relation to ours.

It also has a very low Albedo which makes it very bright (almost white )
But with practice you can start to pick out details, averted vision really helps, maybe also try filters.
