Well done Robert, I'm also starting out but can't get saturn like you did at all yet. Must experiment with exposure time and ISO, last attemp it was far too bright with no detail. Working nights now til Friday, so if clear will try again. If I can get what you have I'll be happy. It sure is a thrill to see an astro pic taken by yourself after looking at so many and wondering if you could ever ever do something similar.
