Hi Everard, great first attempts!
The crater near the limb in your third shot is Aristarchus. It's a beauty.
Regarding focusing your DSLR, you either need to:
a) Get a very low profile focuser
b) Move your mirror up the tube
I didn't want to do either of these to my 12" because I use it for high resolution imaging, and didn't want to lose focal length.
So that leaves you with 2 choices:
1) Go afocal. Use a 30mm eyepiece and a lens that lets you squish up against it
2) Get a smaller scope for full disc moon shots.
I used to do #1, now I do #2. I got an ED80 for the full disc shots.
