I was wondering if I could see Saturn's moons with my current telescope, a 15cm Apeture, 1000m Focal Length reflector.
Absolutely. Several of the major moons are observable with your scope with good seeing:
Here are a few with approx. max. magnitudes:
Titan - 8.2
Dione - 10.4
Rhea - 9.7
Mimas would be a test of your scopes limit at ~ 12.9
