Hi Bob,
not bad for your first attempts at this often frustrating art. I'll give you the benefit of my 13 years of imaging the planets and help you get there faster.
First up, forget asking about settings. Each system will have independent settings for imaging.
Next , you need to set your gain and exposure so that your histogram is around 75%. Ideally set your exposure to as short as possible and push up the gain to around the 80-90% mark.
Turn off gamma.
On Jupiter use runs of between 40-90 seconds per channel on monochrome and around 60 seconds for one shot colour. These durations are ideally used for use with a GEM. For Alt Az mounts use shorter durations to avoid field rotation.
Hope that helps.
