Hi Dan
great pics considering your aperture and camera. Most of the best planetary imagers use SCTs.Damian Peach who won astrophotgrapher of the year uses a Celestron C14 and a Flea3 camera. Sean Walker who is the imaging editor for Sky and Telescope magazine gets great images using a 12.5 inch Newtonian and a DMK 21 618 Camera.
You are better off with the DMK21 as you will get a larger image on the chip.The DMK 41 is better for lunar or solar where you want to capture a large area of detail.
You may want to start with a color camera like the DFK 21 until you get used to the new scope. Once you have mastered the color camera you can switch to a DMK or Flea3 and a filter wheel etc...
I use Firecapture for capturing the images.It is a great program.
My humble attempts at imaging were mostly taken with a celestron c11 edge hd and DMK 21 AUs or DMK 21 618 camera.
