About as good as my first, Jupiter blew my mind when I saw the mind.

My first picture of Saturn turned out to be a green oval blur.

It’s plenty! You were able to not only photograph the sphere itself but also the ring that surrounds it.

I think it’s beautiful! Seeing it in books/internet is cool, but that feeling you get when you’re seeing the real thing, with your own eye is mesmerizing. I remember yelling, “Holy shit, it’s really out there!”

Good job getting the ring separation! Takes a strong magnification and/or great camera settings to do that.

How do you take pictures? I am trying to learn how to take pictures and work out where stuff is in the sky but have no idea on pictures. Any tips?

I use just an ordinary telescope, and I have a mount that tightens around the eyepiece. I slide my phone onto and position it with the camera on just to where it can look through the telescope. After that I can see space but what is necessary is using my phones "pro" functions on the camera. Fiddling with the ISO and Exposure of the camera. With saturn I had my phone set to an ISO of 50 and an Exposure time of 1/6th a second. A lot of information, if you need any other details let me know!
