How about.
Tarantula Nebula (Large Magellanic cloud)
M104 (Sombrero galaxy) which is currently in the same general area as Saturn.
If you are at it early enough, M42 (Orion nebula) may still be worth a shot before it sets.
As for not seeing Saturn with the 9mm, maybe just a case of not being centered on it well enough to get it in the field of view of the higher power eyepiece. With a dob, perhaps play around a bit to see which way it drifts through your field of view and then when you work that out, place Saturn offset in a spot where it will drift through the centre of the FOV so you have a bit of time to change eyepieces while it should be drifting into view with the 9mm not out of it.
