After some fumbling around I got an impressive look of Saturn. Too bad my phone can’t do the image any justice at all (still haven’t got a proper photography setup or mount). Just held my phone camera against the eyepiece with one hand and tried for some ISO and shutter speed settings but this was the best I could do.
Any tips on how to take better pictures? I like to think that I’ve got a great telescope (Celestron Nexstar 8SE – 8-inch (203.2mm) aperture – 2032mm focal length – f/10 focal ratio) but never got to take great quality pictures as well.

Fantastic! I can’t imagine what that must be like, looking up at the same thing Galileo looked at in 1610.

Just a few more months until those rings disappear

So you’re saying that you were on a zoom call with Saturn
