Talking Good but not good enough

I eventually bought a 9mm eyepiece but it is too strong. I couldn't get a 10 or 12 but now I looked at the sit and saw there is a 12 which I think will be better so will invest in it. I took all the advise given and decided on the 9.
I did get some great pics of saturn tonight on just the 25ml eyepiece and also a nebula but not sure what they were called.
It was at the bottom of the 3 stars which went 3 down and 3 smaller across. It was beautiful and saw the rings around Saturn.
The attachments are taken with my little sony cybreshot camera so the nebula didn't come out and the rings of Saturn were not quite as clear as what I actually saw but it was the first time I have seen this and taken a pic of it so I am over the moon.
While travelling the sky I saw 3 falling stars go across my view.
