Default Good Place to buy lenses

I have a Orion XT6. It came with a 25mm and 10mm lense, I can see
Saturn's rings with this, but I want to see it more clearly, hopefully
some colours in the rings. Is that at all possible with a 6inch
telescope? I guess I need a more powerful lense. Are there any reliable
websites where I can buy say 5mm lense?


The disk of Saturn has a noticeable yellow tint. You can seen slight
differences in tint in the polar and equatorial regions and the rings.
