I can't seem to get a good Image of Saturn with my binoculars. Everything else looks good with them. The moon is great and the orion nebula is great, star images are good, but I can't get a defined image of Saturn. It just looks like kind of a blob. Shouldn't I be able to see a defined image of the planet and it's ring?

Yeah, I thought that I read in a review of these binoculars that the rings were discernable, but maybe it was a higher end binocular I read about, but whatever the case, I have a telescope to look at planets with, the binocs I bought for looking at the moon and star clusters and such.
