I was checking out the moon a few mins ago too. Some good detail along the dark edge but way too much natural sunlight (blue sky) left to see much more. It was also shimmering pretty badly...........but i think that was the heat coming from my central heating (i was viewing from inside).

Saturn will have the unmistable shape of a planet with rings, even in the Skylux 70mm. Larger scopes will just produce a large white sihlouette, with the much bigger ones (an 8" reflector and larger) showing minor cloud belts detail, easily the Cassini Division, and maybe ring bands. Titan can be seen from the 70mm Skylux upwards from night to night.

Don't forget, for detail on ANY planet, seeing conditions matter most. The higher the planet, the less air from your viewing perspective its light is travelling through to get to your telescope.
