Silv,

I'm not sure that your perception of pinpoint stars can be relied on.

As Erick and Niko have mentioned, you need to check whether it is a focuser issue.

Put in the 10mm, align to Saturn and then wind out the focuser to try and focus Saturn. If the focuser is out as far as it can go, unlock the 10mm eyepiece and then try sliding the 10mm out of the focuser to see if you can get proper focus.

It may be your focuser doesn't have enough extension. If this works, you need an extender tube.

Regards, Rob
