Nice image, a bit better than I could see through my Stellamira 80mm but was my first time ever seeing Saturn so pretty good for me never the less....

Cheers to get this level of detail this early at this elevation. Means having to shoot in the begining of daylight. Which reduces contrast. But in time things should improve further. Should have added Conditions were quite good. Will add times at some point.

The series of dark spots on the North polar region are interesting on this earlier 1.6 Metre  Shot. Time 03:11UT

Its interesting how the more over sampled shot above is showing a level of fine detail better than the more correctly sampled image. (which is still slightly oversampled. Depending how seeing is evaluated.  Of course this could be explained as better focus. Or slightly higher elevation. But i noticed the fineness improve as soon as i switched to the Ultima 2x barlow With a more oversampled image. Dont be a slave to sampling. Use it as a guide only. Though to be fair its not a open and shut case still processing here. The later captures are more washed out, with increasing daylight

Some interesting looking detail visible, as you say things are only going to improve with time.
