You’re picking up some nice details on jupiter in particular

Something worth mentioning is that the Dawes Limit largely refers to point like sources. When looking at features on the moon or planets you can go to about 1/10th of that. If memory serves an 8” telescope under excellent seeing you can detect lunar features down to about 1km which is well beyond the Dawes Limit.
