In order to try to show both objects (their brightness levels are dramatically different), I imaged with a hydrogen-alpha filter. I took 11 5-minute exposures of M1, and 44 2-second exposures of Saturn, and merged the two by carefully overlaying Saturn in its actual position. The longer images showed saturn severely bloomed.
Saturn is quite small in this wide field image; look for it at top center. Taken with FLI CM-10E and Takahashi Sky90.
