Found M57! What a struggle. Tips on how to get more detail?

Quite amazing, a feint big blob between the tiny stars

Ofcourse now I want to know what do I need to make it look a bit better in my view? I used 25mm EP so far, maybe barlow lens would be a bit better? Maybe a filter? Found it under LP skies so would it been seen better under dark skies without any other optics?

The Ring Nebula does stand magnifying pretty well so worth trying your Barlow. As with most DSO's, a dark unpolluted sky will make more difference than almost anything else. A UHC filter will help and is a good allrounder.

+1 for the UHC i had it in my 9mm last night and the you could clearly see the hole in the middle of the ring im yet to see the star in the middle though
