Martin you are a natural.
These captures are excellent and you should be very proud.
Make sure you print up two of the Moon photo and hang one up at home and one at work.
AND dont underestimate the 6 inch ... its easy to think bigger etc but you will be surprised what it will do for you.
And dont worry about stray light as to do so takes away from the enjoyment.
I will trade a dark sky with cloud for a street lit city backyard with a cloud free sky any day.
See if you can have a go at the suggested object for March.
You have got rather decent focus and that is important.
Practice polar alignment but if you dont nail it reduce exposure times to suit.
I set my dslr on 30 seconds and let it snap away and although not perfect I find it very satisfying.
And so far I find short exposures are all I can do under Sydney skies.
Great effort please post more as you go.
Alex
